fold pre IMO

as played, w/ top pair low kicker - the only option left on the flop is push/fold

Certainly fine to defend pre imo, hand with awesome board coverage and you've got a good check-shoving stack.

Flop can really go either way, depends on your customer. If you knew your opponent was bad enough to do this with 66, I'd just shove right there and then. Calling gets you in a bit of an awkward situation. If your opponent is tight it's fine to fold the flop.

IMO its either fold pre or Shove pre.
On the flop you have to check raise jam.
As played, you called an all in with 95% equity and lost.

What? Of course not! More than enough wiggle room.

Meh facing an utg 3x open and a call from utg +1. K10suited will put you in dastardly positions. Hero has an M<10. He doesnt have enough chips to play pot control to protect his stack. He is also easily dominated by UTG+1s range.

I dont think you can "play" this hand with this short of a stack at this blind level in the tournament. Steal or Fold here.

Of course you can't run a three-street bluff but 24 blinds is easily enough to see a flop from the BB against a 3x. The value of KTs grows once it gets multi-way. It's got great board coverage - many straight draws, flush draws, combo draws and two pairs that you can get it in with. And you're easily getting the right price pre to hit one of those hands.

KTo I could see merit for folding, but closing the action with KTs here I don't see any other option than call.

I guess it depends on how often you think K10 will be extracting value vs K10 being dominated in this spot. Specifically vs where the open and flat call are.

I agree that you have the right pot odds, but i think the reverse implied odds out weigh flat calling and trying to improve.

That being said hero made the right decisions in this circumstance and got sucked out.

Calling is okay pre, shoving is bad versus UTG open.

Most of the time check folding the flop but you may get a fair piece of the flop in relation to your odds. Yes I agree KTo is a fold.

On the flop once the opener checks and UTG+1 bets I think a shove is good here v's UTG+1 flatting range.

I agree that calling preflop is kinda standard.on flop check/shove when utg+1 bets because i dont think his flatting range is much stronger than yours in this spot.Ofc he can have 44,99,some K9s,KQo,KQs,KJo in his range,but he can have a lot of flush draws,gutshots with one heart,smaller pairs like 66s-TTs that make lead bet because cant call easily..they play this way underpairs at micros..

Flat pre is fine, check/shove flop if you feel you're ahead, otherwise just let it go.

As played, turn call off is pretty thin. You really don't beat a lot of hands here when villain shows so much strength, I'm folding.

Big Blind completion is of course fine , I would check shove the flop although I don't know player 7 history. There is no space for flat again the flop. You have a made hand muck it or shove it but don't just call it. Could easily put him the way he played pre on a small pair but not in many Kx combinations with so many players behind him to act.

Yes, that's it.
And of course oponent is lucky idiot, so it is very stupid situation, which hapens a lot of times on pokerstars bounties.
