Poker Stars, $3 Buy-in (5/5 blinds, 50 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players

Pot after antes: 470
Hero (UTG+2): 17,542 (3,508.4 bb) M=7.5
MP1: 20,069 (4,013.8 bb)
MP2: 4,510 (902 bb)
MP3: 4,960 (992 bb)
CO: 4,875 (975 bb)
BTN: 6,419 (1,283.8 bb)
SB: 3,805 (761 bb)
BB: 4,720 (944 bb)
UTG+1: 2,540 (508 bb)

Pot after antes: 470
Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A:h Q:c
UTG+1 folds, Hero raises to 185, MP1 folds,
MP2 calls 185, 5 folds

Flop: (830) T:d 4:d 7:c (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 checks

Turn: (830) 8:s (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets 430, Hero calls 430

River: (1,690) 5:c (2 players)
Hero bets 1,200, MP2 folds

I don't really give him credit for a hand here.
After the hand was over though, I realized that 66 fits his betting

I probably should have CBet the flop?
Since I didn't what about c/r the turn?

Hi, I would def raise more pre flop, like 450 and Cbet flop. After that give up.

I played with lots of different opening ranges

In later stages, most players who were actually raising, were raising about 1/2 pot.

If you consider that if the same pot came from blinds, then 2/3 pot would be "limp".

This tournament got very wild after the bubble burst.

When the antes were high, your stack bled off extremely quickly.
It was fairly common to see 9 players toss in 5 into a pot of 30K just to see a flop. Some of them were limp/shovers. It was hilarious. It was one of the most enjoyable tournaments I ever played.

Thanks for your comments.

Hey Vorpal!

Pretty standard b/f flop spot -> and if he calls you can 2nd barrel a few good cards like kx, ax, jx, qx too! I woul bet 290-310 here!

On the turn I like the call as villain should normally bet every on the flop!
River your bet makes no sense... you're just getting called by better hands and you nevery get a call by a worse hand -> its ch/c or ch/f depending his betsize!

Greets,
Tiltberger
