#Mystery55 

I was playing the online satellite MPNPT Facebook at 32 Red Poker, the prize was tickets to the next stage. We were about an hour into the tournament, playing tight; at my table everyone was playing the same way.

My cards: 5♠5♥


In round 1, pre-flop, I (advoghado32) called from the small blind - 50


Blinds 50/100; pot: 300


The flop: 2♠4♣5♦
Advoghado - check

JAr0o32 - bet 250

eky2 - called 250

advoghado32 - raised to 500

 

JAr0o32 - folded

 

eky2 - called 250

 

ROUND 3:
The TURN: 2♦


advoghado32 - checked

eky2 - checked

 

The RIVER: 3♥

advoghado32 [guess what I did]


What do you think I did? What would YOU have done?

first thing i'd do is ask why eky2 has not acted first like he was supposed to , or ask advogado why he checked out of turn . Probably a typo , so i'll assume that eky checked first . With 1300 in the pot i don't see any  reason to check behind. if we assume that obn the flop he had small overpairs, 3x and smaller sets I think checking behind on the turn is losing value. All of that range is going to call a bet at least and can't really see anything that folding.checking behind gives him a free look with his overpairs at hitting a better boat than you and his boats are calling  or raising any bet that you make. I'd probably have bet 750 to keep building the pot to about 2800

 

Again , having to assume that eky checked , and since you checked behind turn i think that if he had 22 here , or a boat he would have lead out on the river for fear that you would just check behind on the river as well.With a pair on the board he may elect to call any reasonable bet you make with his straights/overpairs incase you shoved over his bet so that he might have to fold in his eyes the best hand..I think that you probably went for value and bet around 1000 chips . If you'd bet 70 on turn  eky would only have 2695 chips left with a pot of 2800. You could then  bet 2000 chips here and get called by straights and get shoved over by smaller boats and posibly by his tiop end straights as well  i.e 6x or 67. Ax will probably fold to a shove fearing 6x at least and not wanting to go out  on such a wet board with lots of hands that beat his Ax.

ROUND 2:

Blinds 50/100; pot: 300

The flop: 2♠4♣5♦

Advoghado - check

JAr0o32 - bet 250

eky2 - called 250

advoghado32 [guess what I did]

 

having completed pre , i think you probably called here.  If you had raised pre , i think i'm fine with calling here as well since you would have taken most of the low cards out of the villains ranges leaving them with overcards or overpairs and we are likely to get  another two bets into us on the turn which we can then raise.

However since you completed it leaves lots of small pairs, small suited connectors and junky cards in villains ranges that could have hit straight draws on this board. Jar is betting nearly full pot having checked behind pre. A3 is likely to have raised two limpers pre in the expectation that with tight players they are likely to fold their limped hands to a raise, so we can discount A3 to a certain extent . I think we should be raising here to 1000to  protect our hand against 3x  and 67 and extract value from undersets, straight draws and overpairs and two pairs. we are going to hate seeing a 3on the turn/river along with Ace,6,7 or 8

What would be the net affect of raising 1.25 x pot? Is it possible that raising more than the pot might reveal to much hand strength resulting in two folds and loss of hand value? Most pros would probably raise 3/4 pot here although in lower blind levels it is not unusual to see a pot raise. The critical card here is the turn and you might not even get there with the raise to 1000.  Your thoughts?

calculating a pot sized raise you have to add the amount you have to call to the pot and add the new size of the pot to it so 250 + (250+250+250+300) = 1300 . so if you were playing online and hit the pot button you'd have bet 1300.  so this is aboout  a 3/4 pot sized raise. As for not getting to the turn i'm fine with taking the pot down as it is with a wet flop that hits their limping ranges hard and lots of potentially scary cards that could come. i don't want to let them draw on the cheap.

1st ROUND:

I was playing the online satellite MPNPT Facebook at 32 Red Poker, the prize was tickets to the next stage. We were about an hour into the tournament, playing tight; at my table everyone was playing the same way.

Here is the first round of the hand:

What do you think I did? What would YOU have done?

 

I think that we are missing a lot of useful information . what was the buyin i.e is it a freeroll or highish buyin with lots of prizes or small buyin with a couple of tickets . How many entered , how many left in the tourney and how many tickets are available as all of this is going our affect our strategy.

  32red are on microgaming so i'm assuming that its going to be a smaller entry than if it was one of the bigger sites/networks like stars or ipoker.If there's only a couple of tickets we probably have to be going after chips to maximise our chance at winning the tickets . If theres quite a lot of tickets relative to the number left in the tournament then we could probably just pass on this hand and save our stack so that we can play in position and not hate virtually every flop that we see.

    As it is, the only info we have is that the whole table is playing tight  , and i'm going to assume that its only a couple of tickets available  so i'm going to raise 4bb, hopefully bb and eky both see it as a strong move and fold and it denies eky set mining odds against us. Folding to any reraises , and will reconsider flop depending on eky's reaction to my raise, snap calls or tanks etc.If both call the raise then its likely that i'll just try and check down out of position unlessflop gives me a big draw or set.

 

looks like no women left in the main event , and 8europeans left with 26 left. As a Mod at Flopturnriver have to back "number2intheworld"  Max Steinberg.

 

 btw great idea to create this Unibet Unoffical Fan Club with @Jonny2192  !

Talal shakerchi   AKA  raidalot on 2+2 was my original guess before day2ab started  but since people have had the benefit of choosing late into day2ab  for their guess I might as well change it to Charles Chatta and hope nobody beats his chip count from day 2c.
