Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6601217, member: 397965"] Maybe in a cash game this can more of a squeeze spot, especially if we are only 100BB deep. But in this particular setting I dont like it. OP just sat down in Sunday Million and has no reads on anybody. Which is kind of important, because that particular tournament see a wide variety of players. There are top pros playing, but also a lot of recreational players, who often satellited in. Like presumably OP did himselfes, since he also post freeroll and microstakes hands. In that situation it has a lot of value to just cruise for a few orbits and get a feel for your table, before you start playing any massive pots. This is not like a cash game, where you can just reload and then continue playing. OP most likely cant afford to reenter, so he is on a single bullet only, and even if he does reenter, he will be put at another table and have to start over again with no reads. I agree. The best line is to put out a small C-bet, the second best is check-call and the worst is check-raise for the simple reason, that we are not happy, if we get action, which OP also realised. When both opponents have checked to him, it seems pretty reasonable, that BTN might bet small with a T for value and protection and also to simply take control of the hand. If someone gives him action, he can check back turn unimproved and then make a decision on the river. The biggest reason to not bet TX would be, that in a 3-bet pot JJ-KK is certainly present and will often be played as a check. Or even weak AX. But by betting on the flop he can also start a multistreet bluff and eventually get those hands to fold, when stacks are 200BB deep. And if he get check-raised, he can just pitch it and be done without giving up to much equity. And once again we know nothing about this player. He could be recreational, so even if solvers say, he should not bet a T on the flop, maybe he does it anyway. Completely agree. [/QUOTE]
