I've been liking these recently, loads of fish and pretty easy to get ITM, but this is the first hand I've felt the need to post.
First off I'm completing much looser in these from the SB when the odds are good compared to STTs, no need to tell me how easily A8 is dominated etc etc but is it alright to limp these early pots in such a tournament?
Not sure on bet sizing or whether check/folding the river would be better than the block bet. We can assume villain is a fish and has a wide range of hands, so the 4 is possible too.
