First post! Would love your feedback :)

Can't remember the exact numbers but was definitely getting bubbly. Roughly 900-something players left with 800-something getting paid.

1. Flop - Check-call from me okay in this spot?
2. Turn - Was check-raise okay here?

Poker Stars, $2.94 Buy-in (200/400 blinds, 60 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 17,887 (44.7 bb)
BB: 10,040 (25.1 bb)
UTG+1: 3,368 (8.4 bb)
UTG+2: 10,276 (25.7 bb)
MP1: 10,034 (25.1 bb)
MP2: 14,622 (36.6 bb)
Hero (MP3): 24,827 (62.1 bb)
CO: 5,000 (12.5 bb)
BTN: 24,406 (61 bb) 38/6

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 8d 9d
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls 400, 2 folds, Hero calls 400, CO folds, BTN raises to 1,200, 2 folds, UTG+2 calls 800, Hero calls 800

Don't have much history with the villain here but have him pegged as loose passive. He raised preflop maybe twice over 32 hands so I assume his range is QQ+, AK

Flop: (4,740) 2c Js Ts (3 players)
UTG+2 checks, Hero checks, BTN bets 1,200, UTG+2 calls 1,200, Hero calls 1,200

He hadn't been playing very aggressively postflop (AF 0.7) so I doubt he has AK after this bet. Narrow his range to overpair QQ+

Turn: (8,340) Qc (3 players)
UTG+2 checks, Hero checks, BTN bets 5,200, UTG+2 calls 5,200, Hero raises to 22,367 and is all-in, BTN calls 16,746 and is all-in, UTG+2 calls 2,616 and is all-in

Hit my straight, albeit with my 2 cards being the low ones, so pretty happy to go all in here

If I would play this hand I would isolate the limper with a 3x raise and fold against a 3bet.

The rest of the hand seems standard with a call on the flop with the odds you get and stacking of with the straight.

If you would fold the turn you shouldn't play this hand in the first place.

Cheers,

Hey SDK1987
Thanks for your thoughts. I never really consider isolating with 98s but I can see the value in raising preflop in this hand. Villain had AK which I didn't see coming at all. I think things would've played out quite differently if I'd raised pf here. Thanks!
