Early on the tournament.
I know the defend w 86o vs 2.5x RFI is a little bit loose (actually I think it's right on the bottom of my range).
Should I donk the flop? (it really favors BB calling range)
With the OESD on the turn, I think the lead is ok, but should I bluff bigger on river or should I give up?

Any thoughts will be appreciated!
Thanks

I would have bet bigger at the turn around 1000 and placed a overbet of 125% of the pot (around 4000) on the river to maximize the pressure if I would take the betting lead here.

Any info on the villain in this hand would be nice. Read less I would fold pre-flop. 86o isn't playing well post-flop and you haven't position.

Bet sizing seems alright, but without any info on the villain it's tough to know if it's smart to bluff in a spot like this. Now villain called pretty light with only ace high.

Cheers,

only 34 hands w villain, so not much info.
hard to have position when defending BB :)! Like I said, maybe not the best hand to defend and, yeap, sometimes, thinking to not overfolding from BB, I'm calling a little bit loose.
and yeap, A high call seems light to me too, but at least now I have a note on him! :)

I said 'haven't position'. That means you play out of position.

that is exacly why you dont bluff those guys on lowstakes. Calling ace high here is super supid becaused you have more 9x and 7x and kinds in you range than draws. Plus you cant have to much oesd becaused he blocks the 8 himself for you to have.
