    preflop is disastrous.


    going with your reads on river is fine, but the rest of the hand is quite disgraceful!


    dont 3 bet pre, if you do dont make it that size.

    I wouldn't reraise preflop, ESPECIALLY not in a deepstack.

    over cards are poo and make it really hard to get tonnes of money in good and they will come all the time for your ickle tens.

    put it this way if i 3bet call pre and c/c the flop i'm not bet calling the river!

    Why did you check the turn with the flush? Im not very good at these MTT as I seem to be to agressive is the reason for my question.

    The nature of MTT freeze outs being that you only have one life, they require different lines compared to best play in a cash game, controlling the pot size is important. Aggression is good, but in general aggression down the streets in tournaments require much stronger hands compared to how much early street aggression does.

    i knew my opponent had aa kk qq or jj but did he have a heart. if i check he bets he likley does i can lay down. if he checks i can go to value town with a disguised hand on the river

    Ok understand that but I have the ten high flush, I am either a mile behind to JQKA Hearts or a mile infront.
     
    I still dont get the check on the turn? If im ahead im building the pot if I am behind there is a good change he will let me know so I can make my decision now rather than facing a larger bet on the river. My thinking might be flawed be just grits my poo to check a flush in this spot.?

    If he has the bigger flush he isn't folding and we're betting, if we're betting and he's not got it he probably isn't calling. Our hand is essentially invulnerable except for a board pair up so seeing the river for free is fine. Also your oppo might undervalue the J of hearts or overvalue a lower heart on the river.

    Your still missing my point, if the AA had shoved the river could we call, we have no information because we checked the flop. If we bet the flop the and villian has no hearts in his hand is less likey to shove and want want to control the pot call/check the hand down because the flush worries him the same as us. Sorry beaneh but the check still confuses me so maybe best I stick to cash and sit & go 6 handed. lol!

    No I probably wouldn't call a shove, however don managed to bet call so who knows lol. Checking the flop is fine the main mistake is preflop.

    i decided if he checked turn he was either dead or had the nuts, the river added to that impressionand i thought for a second, and took a gamble going with my gut

    This is my point Don about this check on the turn you were still no nearer knowing where you was.

    Im most likely missing something as beaneh and you think it correct, so excuse my ignorance for not getting my head round it.

    it's a case of us betting folds out worse hands and better hands call + the fact that if we check we can induce bluffs and incorrect value bets. 


    there is more 'value' to our play because there are more options where money is going in when we are ahead and less money when we are behind.

    makes sense?

    I agree in a sense wayne. in honesty when i called pre i was set mining, the flop i thought a heart might also be good. Turn i got it and wasnt sure, a J or K likley bets, and A might do but not always.

    So when he checks behind i decided he either has the A, maybe a set of Queens or just an overpair. I bet he shoves, this seems like a bluff he doesnt value town it. As a result in my head i rule out the A, and my gut told me to call.

    Ok i base too much of my game on my gut feeling, hense why i suck lol, but sometimes it works.

    he either has nothing, or the nuts. so if we bet he will fold his nothing and call/raise with nuts. (unless he does smth. stupid as in original post).

    that is why betting the turn is bad.

    bet/calling is pretty big spew imo

    it is not specifically related to just MTT's though it applies to all pokers.
