Fear of higher boats

don't lie dave, you would put it all in for $8

you're right.. but i like to sound conservative and smart in my posts.

On a typical cheap tourney, it would not be uncommon for UTG to have 23xx with possibly a flush draw or a backup low, and if the BB was a true donk, you could reasonably put him on any 6 with some reasonable but not great low draw. QQ, 88 and obv Q6 would be milking, hoping that the low would hit and the other two would get into a raising war for their half of the pot, would they not?

So, since you hadn't folded pre-flop (as you should have), this seems like a reasonable situation to put your chips in the middle.

ok whatever fold preflop.. not important as to how to play this hand. i like the flop check. on the turn raise the pot. you're only going one way, so you need to try to take it down right here and charge the low draws the max
