£5.50 timed (15 mins) only 5 mins in,

I like these tourneys, its pretty aggro as you need to double up early.

Most players ranges are super wide, is this a call?

    check fold. The board is going to hit 2 regular opponents range pretty hard with the K or draws. I would cbet in position or block bet out of pos occasionally if you want to see where he stands.

    Tbh i dont play these torns but if you say there aggro i would assume you will get all sorts of calls to raises so the chances are one of them will have the K.I would deffo of c bet this board and fold to any raise.
