PLO8 MTT: Pre-Flop Raise ok? Should I C-Bet?

[UnknownName3]

Hello. I'm a new poster, but a long time reader of the forums. No real reads on MP3 (just moved to my table).

1. Was the Pre-Flop Raise correct (and for correct amount)?
2. Should I C-Bet on this flop? If so, how much?
3. Based on #2's response, if MP3 shoves, should I call?

[PS: Sorry - added stack sizes - converter isn't very good]

Generally it helps to have stack sizes, but in this particular case I think potting both preflop and on the flop is correct regardless of stacks. Preflop especially the raise is almost mandatory.

Since this is a 2$ tourney, and still early enough that you could be facing a donk, you're probably good in at least one direction, even though you're thin in both directions.

Definitely pot the flop, and you're committed with this chip stack if MP3 pushes. If you got burnt by A38T with two diamonds, that's a bummer.

Doesn't being a short stack checked to on the flop in such a micro tourney make this a 100% pooosh asap every time in this spot? If you're folding this when checked to on the flop, you're not only inviting the vampires in your house, you're taunting them with a freshly opened vena cava, methinks. Any non-zombie with a decent low and flush draw is probably going to mash it up on the flop when you're so relatively short.

Yes,yes,yes. Your stack is very shallow (you can get all in on flop), so do it.
