This tourney runs early and is one I play regularly when I'm able.
This event has four hours of late registration, with a starting stack of 35k, but I will only play this event if I can get in early. Their are too many runners that try to get in with about a 20bb stack and make a run, and I don't like being in that situation unless I have a healthy stack and the buy-in is relative small compared to the prize pool.
We are relatively early in the event at 500/1000 - one hour has elapsed and I have
a stack of 85k.
For the purposes of this review I will be using big blinds.
I open UTG+2 2.4bb
Btn calls my open 2.4bb Btn stack size is 95bb
BB also calls my open 2.4bb BB stack size is 35bb
Pot size headed into the flop 8.7bb
Flop is
BB check and I bet 2.94bb. I intentionally bet small - hoping to get one of the opponents to raise. I did not plan to re-raise on the flop - rather I wanted to get as much in as I could on the turn. If I didn't induce a raise I was going to increase my turn & river bet sizes in hopes of making up for this trickery.
To my surprise - the plan works perfectly. The big blind raises to 9.68bb
BB folds and I make the call.
Pot size headed into the turn 28.06bb Our stack size is 72.9bb
Turn card is a . The 7 & 3 are both diamonds however I'm completely unconcerned about a flush. Since we have just over 2.5/1 SPR I'm looking to get it in here, 100% confident I have the best hand. We are only losing to one single hand - and I'm nearly absolute in my belief that the opponent does not have KKs.
His range is Q/T, A/K, 77, K/J - maybe if loose A/J.
What would you do in this spot? Donk lead or check raise jam, hoping the opponent bets?
