MTT. Correct tactical play?

edited April 2011 in The Poker Clinic
From tonight's Take on Tikay.

Fairly early on and I'm doing ok, jogging along in midfield. I think I was right to call the all-in but should I have made a tactical withdrawal earlier in the hand and saved my stack for later?

    Raise pre - this way villain doesn't call with 47 and you win the hand.

    lol Im blind thought he had J7

    Any reads

    I 3bet pre against a minraise, I might flat against a bigger raise though

    Flop I prob flat, raising is prob ok too. Still think I fold to the cold 3bet though it looks really strong, after a pot bet and a minraise in front

    Thanks Guys

    That's the problem with JJ - looks so pretty! To be fair I had the guy down as pretty loose and he'd shown a couple of bluffs earlier. Once I'd got him heads up I reckoned I had him. At least he didn't cash!

    I think this somes it up. You want to be raising good hands like this pre in mtts, unlike cash tournaments are mostly pre flop and a flop based game.

    Now 3 betting pre likley ends the hand, but ou win. On the flop 7 high, its hard to get away simply because you can put them on AA, KK, QQ because you havent re-raised pre. Although because you havent re-raised pre every chance he can hit this flop huge.
