Hello everyone!
Third hand I'm having issues with on this tourney ![]()
My opponent plays 29/21 over 34 hands, he's a big winner over 2k tourneys.
My question is about preflop play.
I'm still confused wether I should open these small pairs in EP, so it's a questionable raise for me.
Secondly, when he raises this small, he really wants to keep me in the hand, so it's likely a higher pair.
But is 60 bigs deep good enough to make a call? My reason for the call was the higher implied odds.
On the flop, I raised, because even though he's not likely to have any draws, I don't want the board to ruin the action.
Postflop play is inevitable, but how would you play pre?
