$11 NLHE MTT: Fairly deep in micromillons with an overpair on a drawy board readless.

I don't like any option tbh. Flatting seems bad, raising seems bad and calling seems bad. I have no idea what to do. His flat pre makes me think he can have 99-QQ that wants to play a pot in position, mayke a hand like AKs/AQs. So his raise he can have AKhh/AQhh, maybe a set of 9s or a better overpair. There are so many cards that suck and we can get pushed off the best hand if we call. If we raise he shoves and we're a huge dog to his range imo. What would you do and why do you think it's best?

Close call between folding and calling and donking most turns for like $11K.

I think his flat pre- can be a lot wider since he's only being asked to call 1856 into a pot of 6000+. Getting over 3:1 and with this amount being pretty affordable given his stack size, I'd expect him to call with a large proportion of his opening range.

That he only min-raised initially might be meaningful. Has he done this before?

He had literallyjust been mvoed to our table, very first hand.

 

[Arjonius]

I think I prefer either making it more, maybe 3 to 3.5 x his bet since I'm OOP, or calling to set mine given that he has over 20 the call amount behind. His min-bet is at least a little suspicious plus I won't like my options if I raise and he 4bets. And being the big stack at the table, I can be selective as to when I want to play large pots. So while I don't love calling, I'd tend to lean in that direction.

As played, I probably bet about 4.5 - 5k on the flop and fold if he shows strength.

 

[OMGITSOVER9K]

thought 2/2.5x in tourneys was standard for an open?

wondering why you're making so much out of the open sizing, 3 bet could be a bit bigger Blue but that's not the reason you posted so I guess it doesn't matter too much.

doesn't your perceived range have a lot of air in it though Blue? he could be semi-bluffing worse pair + draw hands and bare heart draws so I probably stack tbh.

doubtful we see a bigger over pair too often imo.

What country is he from?>

Just checked and he was from Russia, I don't recall knowing this at the time though otherwise I wouldn't have folded.

dont really like the 3bet pre. are you 3bet getting it in or 3bet/folding?

 

[duggs]

as played i call and c/c c/r or c/f turn depending on texture sizing etc

I planned on gii pre. 6-max Vs a CO open and 37bb deep I was happy enough ton stack. Also I don't want to call and have to play the rest of the hand without initiative and OOP.

he is 46bb deep, you are deeper, i dont think even readless you can assume he can get much worse in. Id much rather flat and keep his range wider postflop even out of position

 

[BlueNowhere]

So he is, hard to believe I have an A-level in maths lol. I was probably just too paranoid about playing OOP and not contesting the pot on enough boards.

 

[duggs]

even 37bb eff i hate getting it in

This...

even 37bb eff i hate getting it in

& this.

As played call and re-evaluate the turn, you are deep enough.
