This is a $1.10 satelite to the $11 Sunday Storm and 75 places GTD. Here we are at the start of the tournament and I don't have much info on the players.

How would you guys play this? Do you call the flop and if you do what is your turn move?



pokerstars, $0.98 + $0.12 - Hold'em No Limit - 20/40 (5 ante) - 9 players

UTG: 2,977 (74 bb)
UTG+1: 3,372 (84 bb)
MP: 4,229 (106 bb)
MP+1: 3,466 (87 bb)
LP: 8,689 (217 bb)
CO: 2,686 (67 bb)
BU (Hero): 4,836 (121 bb)
SB: 6,093 (152 bb)
BB: 3,071 (77 bb)

Pre-Flop: (105) Hero is BTN with 6 6
3 players fold, MP+1 calls 40, 1 fold, CO raises to 225, Hero calls 225, 2 players fold, MP+1 calls 185

Flop: (780) K 5 2 (3 players)
MP+1 checks, CO bets 390, BU (Hero) folds, MP+1 calls 390

Turn: (1,560) 4 (2 players)
MP+1 checks, CO bets 2,066 (all-in), MP+1 calls 2,066

River: (5,692) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: 5,692

Showdown:
CO shows A Q (high card, Ace)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 72%, Flop: 19%, Turn: 11%, River: 0%)

MP+1 shows 5 A (a pair of Fives)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 28%, Flop: 81%, Turn: 89%, River: 100%)

MP+1 wins 5,692

I am happy to give my view but I still suck with my love to pocket pairs, so please don't take it too seriously. 🤣

Usually I call one flop/c-bet with my PP, even with overcards.

On turn, I'd given up here, even if the 4 didn't scare me. But I'd assume he has a king or at least a flush draw.

After seeing his hand, it was a bad bluff and you'd have won the hand but I have made a few calls like this and often they either collect something or weren't bluffing if they keep betting.

So good fold, imo.

Preflop
Against a small open it would be fine to call here and basically setmine. But this was a very large isolation raise to almost 6BB, and you are simply not getting the implied odds needed for at profitable setmine. You have around 12X against CO, at you need at least 20X. So this is another hand, where I would just fold preflop and save my chips for a better spot.

Flop
As played its fine to fold now. The K hit COs range hard, and its a multiway pot.

in such an inexpensive satellite, of course, one could risk and try to get a big stack, but in general, of course, if we take into account such a flop against two opponents, then this is an easy fold

I call preflop to hit the set, but without villain information I'll tend to fold on the flop, because he may already have a bigger pocket pair.

For me it seem to be a bit too deep for calling with 6s to the river with such bets. Bigger pockets and K is obviously in the range, so this villain line is either air or very strong value. You had luck this time.
With small pockets I would try to reraise pf and see what's the reaction.
Besides this played standard.
