Probably call, but Id need to know the whole hand to make sure.
Yeah, there isn't that many people in the tournament section, there may be 200 members per day, however not that many frequent this section.Only 3 opinions thus far, and on a site where 200 members a day have no restraint holding back their opinion when i don't want it... I'm going to wait until I see more views.
It seems like this is a good reason to make bigger folds and lower variance plays, however i think it's the opposite in this case since the relative amount that you are playing for here really isn't going to be detrimental to your life (hopefully) if this was a 2k buyin and that was your whole bankroll it would be a differant story. But i wouldn't really take this into account at all. just play like you normally would.Just curious. Take into account I have no more money (not even a penny) so this is my only shot at this tourney.
Ok full replay, sorry thought most of the needed info is clear on the screenshot.
The more info you give the more specific the answers we can give, it also allows us to see into your head a bit and point out possible flaws in your thoughts which is great in terms of fixing leaks.
Next hand, I limp, CO limps, button folds, SB raises 3BB, BB calls.
So first decision there is 320 in the pot, with only one potential caller behind me with position, the other two are in front. I have 1740 behind. Yes, my hand is basically sht, but let's be honest, I'm not really intending to play my hand if I flat call here.
So you limp with Q4s and raised with Q3s the previous hand? just clarifying here, in general i'm not a huge fan of limping with super unconnected hands like this, its obviously much better to do so with stuff that can connect with many more flops, it doenst have great high card strength or connectivity so i'm thinking folding in general would be a better idea, however if you really wanted to play vs the people in your blinds i guess it's ok, but it will lead to more multiway pots and less room to try and take things down postflop so i dunno.
Turn, as you can see, is 9h. I have 2nd nut flush. SB checks, I check, CO bets min 40 1bb again. SB check/raises to 120, which is only 3BB and 1/5th pot. But for some reason, we haven't been playing long enough, I'm concerned he likely has something. Nut flush is a possibility. A weaker flush, especially jack high is also good possibility. Or he could just have a 7 and trying to get out 1 card flush draws.ok so this is a great time to input this range and your hand in an equity calculator to see how you do, i'll attempy to do it but i'm using a mac currently so i might have to wait until later when i'm using a real computer This doesn't make a ton of sense though because of how it has played out and how passive he has been. Few players would take this line with a naked 7Trying to make sense of players in lower stakes is essentially pointless especially since you have little in the way of real reads, so you can't really discount anything, he can have all of the above equally as these players tend to overplay hands alot so he could even have a naked Ax type hand here and pretty easily get his whole stack in without a second though.. I call the 120 and the CO folds.
You see the rest on the screenshot. There is 880 in the pot, 2d is the river and he shoves all-in. I'd have to call 1400 to win 2280, so terrible odds IMO. But we all know that this guy has just polarized his range.he's kind of both here, he will have some retarded bluffs in his range, but again at these stakes it tends to be less bluffs and more overplaying of hands he shouldnt, so it actually tends to be a more linear range overall even though he is slightly polarized here too, basically he's gonna show up with more Ax 7x overplayed hands that he will with bluffs here. Giving me such terrible odds and shoving like this after very little aggression to this point usually means he either has a monster, thinks he is good, or has turned something goofy or potentially interesting into a bluff.He's shown aggression on the turn, it might not what you would class as an aggressive move but to him it could be, he did raise the turn small after the flush hit, so it could be a sign of a completed straight OR he's getting scared after slowplaying 7x or Ax, point is we have to include all of these in his range and perhaps weight them differantly in terms of what he's more likely to have.
I can't give any more information out other than the outcome. And we all know we're not supposed to be outcome based. So now that you have all of the available information, what would you do here?

I see a few flaws in your overall thoughts here that i'm going to point out below in bold.
I call, pretty easy one too, like he's gonna show up with random bluffs some of the time, not often imo. He's gonna show up with overplayed hands like 7x lower flushes, higher flushes (rare) full houses (rare) and Ax so without doing an equity calc i'd say we're very much ahead of all that, yeah.. call.

Previous hand, Folded to me and I make it 4BB preflop with Q3h (I'm aware this is wrong, I do this for a specific reason that none of you agree with so I won't bother). I take it down. You can see in the SS my position in both hands.
Next hand, I limp, CO limps, button folds, SB raises 3BB, BB calls.I believe you should have folded here. The tournament is still in the early stages and you'll see a lot of people playing weak hands like this. You should play tight. Also you didn't have position. Since you wanted to play the hand, I'd say raise 2x or 2.5x bb.
So first decision there is 320 in the pot, with only one potential caller behind me with position, the other two are in front. I have 1740 behind. Yes, my hand is basically shit, but let's be honest, I'm not really intending to play my hand if I flat call here.Again, if you're not intending to play your hand, fold pre-flop
I call and CO calls so 420 in the pot to the flop. You can see it. A77hh.Did you call someones bet or did you min-raise? I didn't understand. Either way, I think again this is a bad play. You should be raising so if villian has Kh he won't be getting his money in good.
Checked to me, I check and CO bets min 1bb 40. Usually all 4 would stay in, but SB calls, BB folds and I call.Again, less than 10% of the pot, raise or check-raise 3-4x here.
600 in the pot, I have 1620 behind, covered by the CO and slightly covering the SB.

Few players would take this line with a naked 7. I call the 120 and the CO folds.Making assumptions of what hand he has without knowing anything about the player is very bad in my opinion. Once you get stats on the player then you should be doing this.
