Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6435829, member: 397965"] As for hand 2 with 22 I agree, that you cant just call. You need to either fold or overjam to try and push the original raiser out of the pot. But I would have folded. [B]Hand 3 AQo[/B] Preflop and flop is standard, although against especially nitty players we could consider folding to the 3-bet. This is the tightest possible configuration for 3-betting with you being UTG (although only 8-handed) and him being in BB. Its definitely not crazy to put him on a range as tight as AA, KK, maybe QQ, AK and maybe an occational bluff like AJs or A5s. This mean, that on the flop you beat AK and the occational bluffs, so you are definitely not folding, but there is no point in raising either. And that is also the case on the turn. When you raise here, you take away his ability to bluff the river, and you make sure, you lose the maximum against his QQ-AA. There is nothing to protect against, since the only bad card for you is a K, and if he has one, there are only three more left in the deck. Backdoor spades are not important, and they are not folding to a min-raise, so you cant protect against them. You also block them with Q of spades, reducing him to pretty much AX of it, and maybe only AK of it. I would call again here, mainly because he can have all 12 combos of AK and maybe just not want to give up. And then my plan would be to call all rivers other than a K. You only beat a bluff, but this is pretty much the top of your range, and in a 109$ MTT I will assume, that people are able to run big bluffs. I would definitely not fold on a spade river, because I think, its tempting for him to run a bluff on it, and you have the blocker. And if he check the river, I would just check back and take a showdown. I dont think, there are enough hands in his range, if any at all, that you can get value from by betting the river. [/QUOTE]
