edited November 2011 in The Poker Clinic

Small buy-in (think this was the £1.10 DS in the DTD)

204 original runners 50 to go (top 30 paid but 11-30 less than £2)

Chip Leader

Oppening oppo limps with any connecting or suited, min raised marginals (any 2 pictures, any PP below 99, any suited connectors, A7-A10) raises properly with hands.

How do u play these - my view on flop is I'm never folding but I keep sucking out like this recently

If fold pre is preferred what range should I be optimally playing here - If its QQ+ isnt thia a bit predictable?

    Don't think call pre is too bad as you're 73bb deep but overall I'd prefer folding as against UTG raise you could easily be dominated even if you hit.

    As played I'd probably just call his flop bet IP and see what turn brings, by raising I feel you isolate his range to only made hands any of which should be ahead of you right now.

    I'd be tempted to 3bet pre if he has a fold button. Dont mind the call if he never minraises the hands that dominate you

    Flat flop, sure you have a pretty hand but raising folds out a lot of worse hands and he very rarely folds  out better

    KQ is in min raise range.

    This is a £1.10 tourney - A fold button ????? - whats that?

    What about the other player if I flat.?

    Am I not just letting him cheaply outdraw my top pair with A10etc with a standard c-bet if I flat?

    Yeah fair enough, I would normally fold pre, just thought 3bet might be an option given your reads on sizing, obv depends on table behind also

    Something like AT has only 2-3 outs. I'd prefer take the chance of being outdrawn rather than getting it in against a range Im going to be a dog against and folding out most hands I am a big favourite against
