Hi

These hands comes from 2 MTTs - 2 from 1.1 zoom and 2 from 2.2 ko turbo.

1) https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/8255aZGO1

I found this guy betting pre lighter, so flop ain't scared me that much. On turn went for a bluff, is this valid or do you like the sizing?

2) https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/5255b0HQ7

Two tables left, and I needed chips. Playable post flop -is it obvious he missed it, and I could hit it - correct sizing or point to do so?

3) https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/6255cwdDS

One to go and there'd be a payjump. So I put 1010 in this way. Opinions?

4) https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/1255cw0ln

Strong pre-raise but we are in position. Strong flop raise but still good for 1 street I think. On turn I had to move. How did you rate this line, could I get rid of on flop, maybe better turn-reaction?

Good luck

Sizing optimal first two hands small bets as bluff are perfect we risk less

TT hand- the data we want to use for bet sizing here is the villain stack sizes. Several villains including the BB can call and see the flop easily for this sizing they can also dump their hands on bad flops easily- so we increase risk at this sizing for little reward post flop

QJ hand we can bet less on turn all les is fine

Hand 1 77

Preflop
The opponent only had around 20BB, so I would 3-bet jam in this spot rather than call. He is opening from late position, so his range should be wide, you are getting a good risk-reward, and as an extra incentive you can win his bounty. Calling is also ok, but 77 dont play well postflop with short stacks.

Flop
If he is C-betting wide, we pretty much have to defend, even though we are not loving it. This is why, I jam preflop. Then the hand is over, and positions dont matter.

Turn
Your hand is a really bad candidate for bluffing, since you dont block the nuts, and you have very little equity when called. A good bluffing hand could be a hand like QT with Q of spades, where if an A, a T or another spade comes, you usually also have the best hand. This particular hand is just a check-fold as played. But with that being said what do I know. The guy actually folded to a 20% pot donk bet, which is just wow

Hand 2 ATo

Preflop
Here I would also just call. With less than 10BB you have very little fold equity, and you are not doing well enough against a typical LJ range.

Flop
You flopped a gutshot with two overs, and the SPR is just a bit over one. I think, this is a great spot for running a stop-and-go, which mean calling preflop and then donk jamming the flop. It is kind of an obvious play, but even if he snifs it out, its still not easy for him to call you with a broadway, that missed the flop completely. The alternative is to check-jam, but when the SPR is this low, he might feel committed to call you off with hands, you want to fold. So I like the stop-and-go here for max fold equity.

Turn
As played I like this bet. When he check back the flop, he almost certainly have a broadway, that missed, and you can easily represent this board. I also like not jamming at this point, because you want to make it look like, you are going for value.

Hand 3 TT

With just 12BB and near a payjump I would open shove and try to pick up a round of blinds and antes uncontested. Postflop is pretty awkward with such a short stack, but I think, you played it fine. You definitely maximized value, but you also gave him a chance to suck out on you. He had 11 outs on the turn, so you were lucky to get your hold.

Hand 4 QJs

Preflop
I am ok making this call, because your hand is suited, and you are on BTN. QJo would be a fold.

Flop
Standard call.

Turn
When the third 2 hits, and he check to you, I definitely think, you need to bet for value and try to get called by 33-TT or sticky A high. I like your sizing as well, since you still have the river to get the rest of the chips in, unless its an A or K. And I also like folding with this action behind you. I have no idea, what SB was doing here with 66, but it just goes to show, that you see some really weird stuff in the micros. And it was good for you, because it forced LJ to stop slowplaying and allowed you to get away from the second best hand.
