Message: [QUOTE="monkeytilter, post: 6482233, member: 426251"] I think as played and considering this is a $1.10 tourny you have to go broke here with toppest top two. I see worse than sets/straight (did you miss that QJ makes the straight here?? "no straight potential" is incorrect) getting shoved here @$1.10: worse two pairs, Ax getting "scared" that board is getting so wet and lots of overplayed combo draw hands like Q9s. You may want to look at your bet sizing as others have suggested, as played with these sizes you have no choice other than to call it off and you are forcing your opponents to play too well against you, i.e. they can't continue with junkier holdings vs these big bets! First off preflop, @60bb you don't have to open for 3x, particularly when you are first in on the CO. Anywhere between 2.2 x and 2.5 is fine in an MTT with no limpers to deal with. On the flop 1/4 to 1/3 pot would have sufficed, you are in position with the effective nuts and want weaker hands to continue not make good folds. Similarly blasting pot on the turn is heavy handed, you'll force too many hands you're crushing to fold (we're more than happy for hands like 7h8h to continue here which we're 3:1 favourite against). I think 60% pot would have been better. Even if both villains happened to have each of the flush draws with a gutshot combo and call we are still better than a coin flip against both of them, that's not a terrible spot in a 3 way pot in position! A smaller pot allows you the possibility of getting away from the hand if you have reads (and I would need a solid read to fold!) that a villain will only come back over the top on the turn only with nutted hands like set+ Something to consider is if you had got to the river and one of the flushes completes how would you react to a lead from one of the villains jamming it in? You should be considering this eventuality when you bet the turn and have a planned response if the turn or river gets jammed on you, as played you've cut down your options. Again, I don't think you made any major error here but you can definitely finesse your bet sizing. [/QUOTE]
