So, as stated in the previous thread:
- Player in middle position raised 3BB
- One player in late position called
- You have QQ on the SB and called the 3BB raise
- BB has folded
- This is the second hand of the tourney and you have no clue about your opponents.

So you'll play the flop versus 2 players out of position. The pot is now 300.

The flop came 10-8-3 all spade. You have the Q of spade.

The action is on you so what is your next move :
- Bet half pot
- Bet pot
- Move All-in
- Check and call pot size bet
- Check then raise the double of the bet
- Check then raise all-in if there's a bet
- Check then fold if someone bet more than the pot
- Any other action not listed

You still have 1400 chips when start playing the flop.

Pretty sure you left out all that info in the original thread, being OOP changes everything. With a MP raise vs an UTG raise, i'm 3betting this everytime. There's more dead money in the pot, and it's a MP raise, so it's going to be a lot weaker than an UTG raise. And calling and playing OOP sucks.

However in this above example, we decide to call from the SB. ok i'm usually taking a check/call line here, but if the guy is betting full pot, there's little use in pot controlling it, and i'm likely to check/raise shove all in here. We probably have the best hand now, and our draw could be the best draw out there also.
To be honest i'm not even sure if i want to try and control the pot size here, i think i'm happy to check/raise all in here.

Click to expand...

So, your choice: check and then raise all-in. Would you call an all-in bet after your check?

yeah, probably. a shove indicates a hand that doesn't want action a random 10 or 8 or something, maybe a flush draw, either way i'm pretty sure we have the best hand, and if we don't, only thing we're worried about is a set or random two pair, we have our flush outs. if we're up against a higher flush draw then we're ahead, and it's very unlikely that we will be facing a flopped flush if the guy shoves.
