Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6420683, member: 397965"] Preflop With stacks this deep and a splashy fish in the big blind I think, you are leaving value on the table by only raising to 2,5BB. If you always use this sizing and think, you need to not give away tells to good players at the table, ok whatever. But I would also consider changing my default sizing, if that is the case. Small raises are great, when stacks are short, or in (cash) games without antes, but early in an MTT you are simply giving people to good odds to come into the pot, and the result will be, you end up with a lot of multiway pots (like this one) and rarely winning the blinds without a fight. Flop Like the bet and the sizing. Turn I also like this bet and the sizing, because the fish in big blind is still in the hand. He can still call you with any AX and maybe even 9X. However if BTN continues against this sizing, then I am not loving my hand any more, and I would already be thinking ahead and plan the river based on that. River We are assuming, that BTN is a good player, and already on the turn we wanted him to fold, which unfortunately did not happen. You opened from HJ, and this mean, he would most likely have 3-bet strong aces like AJ+. So what can he even have, that you still beat? There are no busted draws, AT got there, A9 was there already, and a good player dont call that big turn bet with A8 or worse, when he has another guy left to act behind him, and your hand look exactly like, what it is. So even before any action has taken place here, I actually think, you are most likely beat, and the decision should be between check-folding and check-calling. Which mean, that when you do bet, which I think is a significant mistake, its a very easy fold. [/QUOTE]
