Final Pot: t2400

Not a very interesting hand, I just have a bunch of quetions.

If he shoves PF, do you call? If you fold, what range do you call with?

If I bet the flop, and he shoves, do you call?
Should I just like shove the turn in case he has a set or flush draw?

If 3000 chips are worth $2000, what are 6000 chips worth if I eliminate a player?

6000 chips are worth about $3250 assuming its the 1st hand and bvb, as for your hand I would probably fold to a shove preflop(call like JJ+ usually, very opponent dependent though), fold and feel gross to a flop shove, aggro that turn.

BVB there's no way I'm folding pf. I'd play the flop the same. Definitely bet the turn. 2 pair, a set, and flush draws will almost always call a turn bet but will rarely bet the turn.

OT - I was all fired up to play in a HK/Macau tournament if there ever was a big one out there, Stars finally gets it set up...on Thanksgiving weekend. Guess they don't want any Americans coming out and spoiling the party [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The bvb comment in the first post was just to make the example as simplistic as possible aka no SB overlay. I should lay off the plant.

If he shoves pre call.
If he shoves the flop fold.
I don't mind betting or checking turn, but after thinking more I like betting 600 because people will check back non K hands and he doesn't have complete air that much.
