$5.50 NLHE MTT Bounty: QQ, deep in the tournament with a in front. Did I overplay the ladies?
Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 13/7/2
Two tables left. Hero's position was 9/16. 1st prize would be ~$800. Current payout $20. Villains bounty was $8. Hero's $23.
The villain had limped once earlier in the tournament and folded to a shove and a call behind him. I am sure he doesn't have a balanced limping range.
1. Was the 3X pre-flop raise too small? Should I have made it 4X? 5X? I know his range is mostly suited connectors + weak Broadways, so I am crushing that pre-flop. Should I still be raising 5X and push him out?
2. He donk leads on the god awful flop (for QQ). In my head , his range is mostly monster draws (like straight+flush draw) + 9s 10s JJs (less likely the way the hand played preflop). + J10s/J9s + 10 9s. To be honest, I din't think too long about his range after he donked the flop, I pretty much insta-shoved.
(Which I think is a mistake, not thinking before insta shoving in a tricky spot, not that it would have mattered in this particular hand.)
I can't see him playing his sets this way. Once he donk bets 1/3 pot, can we just call in this scary flop? There's no way we are folding to this, so I guess the question is are we flatting (Didn't make sense to me) or shoving?
P.S Don't insta-click the spoiler . Provide your analysis first and then see the spoiler. I think that way we all benefit more
