Message: [QUOTE="Sopt, post: 6708312, member: 1014873"] It's a tricky spot to be in, as there was a lot of action already happening pre-flop and you basically have no idea what SB could have with so little info you have about them. Personally I do not like 3-betting AJo in early to mid positions as you are unnecessarily making the pot bigger than you'd comfortably be playing post flop with. I understand the idea of pushing UTG player away, but you are leaving way too much people behind you to still jump in, push over you ect. Especially on micro stakes MTTs I tend to call over 3-bet, even with better hands like AKo and such. I understand that with calling you are also leaving yourself open to someone 3-betting behind you, but you can either decide to call or fold there too. And I wouldn't pay much mind to just folding to lets say button pushing it to 2k chips there. Looking strictly at how this hand went, I'd recon there would be no difference, no matter what you did as BB went all in anyways. Post flop we then are in this tricky position. SB could have anything. He could be a fish, just playing most of the hands. He could have been lucky getting crazy hands 10 times in a row. He could be a fish or a pro and hit 2 pair with J9. He could have a straight already with 10 8, he could have flush draw. He could have worse top pair and he could even have nothing, just trying to push you out of the pot, banking he has better hand than all in guy. Personally I would fold on that board, even with top pair top kicker, just too many draws for my taste and you are no where near to being too invested in pot already. It's not worth losing most of the chips to overvalue your top pair. So again I'd fold and reconsider my pre-flop play. Do I really want to play that range in that spot the way you did? I personally wouldn't. Another tip to micro stakes, that I tend to be noticing more and more lately. You get far by over-folding not by over-playing. :) [/QUOTE]
