TT $2.5 Tournament

Hi guys,

Wanted to know what is your opinion about this hand. The chipleader was very loose and when I was dealt TT UTG I decided to limp cause didn't wanted to play against him post flop out of position with this hand. So I planned to limp-shove in case he 3bet me. On the flop, I think it was impossible to make him give up of his hand.

I think that the shove is good. You haver an over pair with a pretty low stack and a decent amount of chips in the middle. I think that the possibility of there being a flushdraw is something that you should keep in mind and therefore calling and maybe folding the turn if a spade hits is a possibility. All in all you have a good chance of winning with the tens against a flushdraw and the odds of them having a good hand and just calling preflop is slim.

I am not a pokerpro so please correct me if my thoughtprocess is wrong.

First of all I recommend removing the outcome of the hand next time or put them in a spoiler, because it could influence the feedback what you get.

I would always raise TT pre-flop, because you want the initiative during the hand and you don't want to play multi way post flop.

As played I would lead the flop for let's said 2/3 pot and her-evaluate on further action, because you don't want that all players gets a free turn card and you could missed value as well.

The rest seems standard with stacking off here.

Cheers,

Thanks for your replies guys!

@Curvez1 I'm not pro neither

@SDK1987 As I mentioned the guy was super loose and aggressive and I wasn't feeling too comfortable to play post flop with TT UTG so decided to limp (that is not my usual game) expecting raise from the chipleader and preparing to 3bet him allin. On the flop I was trying to push-3bet (and it was what happened). My mistake was that I tried to trap too much and didn't play my usual game..

hi i think the shove on the flop is ok, you are beat some of the time, but with 1/3 of your stack out there, i dont see you have any option but get this in on the flop, you can hardly call on the flop that's for sure!

i would definitely raise pre in future though, i like your thinking re: limping with intention of reshoving, but the problem is this exact thing can happen, a table you think will re-raise you don't and you end up multiway to the flop somewhat OOP with 30bbs and TT, i mean this is the best flop in the world for your hand and you're probably still not loving getting it in here with their uncapped ranges!
