Very first hand of a timed tourney, so no reads or history with villain. Only start 40bb deep too.

In a time tourney, why get involved the first hand with 7 10 Suited?

Easy fold pre. In these tournies, just wait for premium hands and maximise value, and the last thing you want to be doing is dribbling away chips. What are you doing when you miss? Which we are most times.

In these types of games people dont like folding. As Played just shove, where you prob plenty of outs, unless they have you totally dominated, higher flush draw/ set, 2 pair.

DOHHHHHHH

''In a time tourney, why get involved the first hand with 7 10 Suited?''

Because it's folded to me with 10 7s, dur


''What are you doing when you miss?''

Bluffing 3 streets, obvs

''As Played just shove, where you prob plenty of outs, unless they have you totally dominated, higher flush draw/ set, 2 pair.''

Might be more to this hand than meets the eye

I'm gonna stop winking now.

Hi H

Firstly don't play it!

Secondly i suppose with 12 outs to improve to probably a winning hand its approx 48% so i suppose ship and look for a good result or a nice cup of tea.

I still wouldn't play it though.

calcalfold

Fold pre obv.

GELDY

Fold pre is the standard line

however if you want to be active fine

but it needs a 3x raise pre

you don't want callers after all

and you cannot get much of a better flop for your hand

so show them how aggro you can be

and if you get it through they'll be a little cautious with you in the following hands

est1967

He did raise with tosh but only got called,But if u raise with that imo thats the perfect flop so jam it IN....

LLCooLD

Fold pre

Jam flop as played. 

GREGHOGG

fine to minraise pre imo.

I would call flop as played 

Lambert180

Yeah don't see any problem raising pre at all assuming we know how to play postflop and from your clinic posts you seem to know...

I flat the flop too cos for us to be semi-bluffing it means we have to get folds sometimes and I doubt they're ever folding.

Call otf and bink ott

why minraise with blinds so low - just because everyone is shallow?

and isn´t call the flop a bit passive?

(ie you have a different line - just wondering on your rationale)

Lambert180

Yeah I think a minraise is fine cos we're only 40xBB deep and just like in any MTT when stacks start getting shallower we wanna lower our raise sizes so we can play more pots and use our post flop edge more, steal chips cheaper and get away from hands cheaper.

I like the call too cos if we shove it's a semi bluff and that means we need to get folds sometimes for it to be good, and I don't think many people are donkbetting near full pot then folding to a shove, so dont think we're getting folds but we have too many outs to fold.

GELDY

See what you mean but

Still don't like the idea of mr with junk and then not following through when I flop the world, well almost

hhyftrftdr

It won't let me post the rest of the hand history for some unknown reason. But it went like this. I jammed the flop. He tanks. Tanks a bit more. Finally calls just before the time runs out. Shows 7 8 for the up n' down.

10 high is still ahead by the river. I was ahead all along; you nits saying fold pre, pah!

rancid

call

- raise/shove if you think vill gonna fold some of the time

what's all the fuss about, it's a std flip yo !

1. Yes because its shallow and it's good to take the initiative.

2. No, it's not passive, we have no need to gamble by getting it all in, if he has the ace he is never folding, and we are going to have to hit. If we call flop, we get to see a lot of turns for free, or take it down on the turn whichever seems right at the time. If we had the ace, we would nearly always flat, and we can have the ace.
