gonna be hard to turn a profit given deep stacks, OOP and a faceup hand.

i might sound nitty here but...

let's put him on a 3bet range of JJ+ and AK. (early in tournament, EP raiser, deeper stacks). JJ i think good players call tbh.

you flat call, let's take a look at some flops.

flop is T high, rainbow. I guess he could have jacks and you might be able to stack him, but to be honest, 3bet an EP raiser early, i don't put him on jacks, i think he just flat calls there. You probably only get action on AA/KK (QQ not likely) on a raggedy flop. and if the flop comes A or K high, you most likely have to lead to win (which sux) and hope he folds but he will probably be raising alot there or you have check fold that sort of flop.

so yeah fold and wait for a nicer spot, don't really see what kind of flop you are lookin for and will get action on, except for a queen on flop, (which you don't have the odds for) ldo. i dont post strat much so i might sound dumb but its an mkind topic. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

One have the odds to call and see a flop to hit a set. The preflop raise is 240 and alow4194 has a stack of 2955.

So call and play poker.

I think everybody is forgetting it is a KO tourney!!! Push obv

but srsly I think I would flat call and proceed cautiously on the flop here

That's just the thing, you either flop a set or you don't. There is no 'playing poker' here because playing it for non set value is ridiculously unprofitable considering his range (which I believe is QQ+ with a very very small addition of JJ and AK to that).
