Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 5642950, member: 393841"] Congratulations first on decide you to play NL400. Now going to hand, we have an initial decision with TT. From the way you played the hand, I can sense that you like to play tournaments. TT is a middle hand but blocks many semi-bluff combos like AT; KT; QT; JT. So one way to play it in preflop, is by following a borderline line as you did, since we are in a 4-way pot, and the villains have low frequency of fold equity, so this could be the case of a limp profitable from sb. But if the villains had a lower VPIP, the most standard line for cash games is to defend our position, raising here. Because we are protecting our range and if we only limp, we are letting in high combinations for free that could improve in the post flop. On the flop we don't need to bet first, because basically we almost never have the nuts here, so our overtaking could be interpreted as a sign of weakness. If you choose this line B on the flop, be sure to choose a smaller size, 1/3 is enough for this flop. But the scenario is not suitable for making the donk bet. Because villains have wide range characteristics and it is more likely that a large size will be comfortably called by these villains, because they will be looking for an exploitative line for this board. This fold does not seem correct to me on the turn. Let's not forget that we're playing NL400, and the villain BTN with that little bet could cheat with tons of combos here. A VPIP of 41% could cheat with 2-2; 3-3; 5-5; 6-6; 8-8; 9-9; 5-6s; 6-8s; 8-9s; + flush draw combos, because we don't lock any diamond nuts. I think we should go all the way with our middle pair, as we are playing against a wide range, so our hand has an acceptable ability to catch semi bluffs on the river. I think the most exploitative fold here could be a fifth diamond lane on this board. But I would think about it long before I fold the river anyway Greetings. [/QUOTE]
