[Closed] $10 Rebuy MTT J10o in UTG+1

hi,

I don't really like your timing - JTo is playable, but from UTG+1 its definitely a muck unless you plan to 4-bet shove. Also, bet size is 2.5x - you should bet more here, 3.5-4x unless you want to play against 4+ ops.

Flop is dodgy. What I like about it is that you have running straight and flush draws. Middle pair isn't doing us much good with J kicker. I would check-call here and try to make a move on turn, if it helps. Check-fold is a more solid move overall.

MP only folds to 25% of cbets and with vpip 28 Kx is in his range, as well as 89s+, so by betting we will just bloat the pot.

Hi,

I would fold pre - our stack just sucks to make moves like this.

As played I don't really like to cbet here. As a default I would probably check/call flop (betting on turn small if he checks behind) and planning to also check/shove any non A or Q or club turn.

You shouldn't just cbet because it has a K on it - it also has a ton of draws on it and you will get floated a lot.

As played, obv fold to raise.

Hope it helps.

If ante's are in play, which I assume they are due to 300bb, a smaller preflop raise is preferable, I generally raise to 2.25x at this level.(2.05 at 800bb and above)

This allows us to get away from the hand cheaper vs a 3bet, and allows us to cbet smaller giving the same pot odds.

I think cbetting is standard. There are a lot of turns you can barrel vs a flat, any A/K/J/T/9/club.

I prefer to cbet a smaller % too. I tend to cbet 1/3-1/2 pot on a non draw heavy board, and a little less than 1/2 on a drawy board. If you are paying enough attention to players at your table you will know which ones you can smallball profitably against.
