$3.30 NLHE MTT: $3.30 NLHE MTT: $3.30 NL MTT: $3.30 NL MTT: $3.30 NL MTT: $3 NLH Hand Review (ITM)

This is my first post here. I have a hand I'd love to get some feedback on it.

There are a bit over 100 players left in the online tournament. Already in the money. I had one of the biggest stacks in the tournament and the second biggest at the table at 72BB.

Preflop
-- I open in the cutoff with Pocket Tens for 2.2 BB
-- Loose button shoves with 11 BB
-- SB folds
-- Big Blind villain who is the largest stack in Tournament calls (villain just joined the table and I have no read on him)
-- I call

Flop comes 7J8 Rainbow
--BB bets out about 3/4 pot 25 BB, or almost half my remaining stack
-- I fold
-- Villain shows A8 offsuit. sb had QT gut shot. I was ahead by a mile and would have won at showdown

Should I have shoved preflop? Or on the flop? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I think you played it fine. 1010 might get trapped in that spot preflop so I wouldn’t shove especially with no info on Villain. A8 is a bad call so putting him on that is hard. Most likely he would be calling that with AJ, QQ+. If he bet small, I would call and see the turn. The way he played it, I think is a fold.

I guess the reason I posted this is that in retrospect I would think that he would have 4bet with QQ-AA most of the time, so it may have made more sense for me to shove preflop instead of call. On the flop, I would think most villains would bet out with JX type hands.

Its always annoying to lose to a donkey, who completely overplay his hand and then see it at showdown, because a short stack is all in. But unless you had a strong read on him, you played this just fine. With the stack distribution you want to avoid getting involved in big pots against this particular player, unless you have something very nutted, and TT on J high board dont fit that bill. So just find something to bite and hope, that you can get his stack, when you have the goods

Villain could play JJ QQ KK the same way. Say you shove pre flop for your stack and villain calls. How do you like your 10's now? If he has over pair not wanting to see an Ace high flop. He may not want to commit all his stack with out seeing flop first.

dificult decision, but I think I would call to see the turn.
big stacks always push too much

You played the hand normally and just fine - no need to 4b shove TT with 74bb to start the hand - if you had 40bb or less - im totally down for going with the 4b jam for value.

As played i think the call is fine - flop is very weird - good villans are flatting the raise behind with KK and AA trying to induce an iso 4b or shove from us and we should never be willing to punt 74bb with a hand like TT - we call for the 11 and if we lose then we still have 60+bb and are in fine shape to continue the tournament - so the call preflop is fine as well.

The villans donk surely is strange and given the way this hand was played and he will be forced to showdown i would make the fold here as well - once I see his hand I would quickly color code and note my villan for their actions. As it is - you just ran into a common spaz and we had to fold the better hand - no big deal, life goes on.

This is actually a very important point. If our opponents are to aggressive for their own good, we will sometimes end up folding the best hand, but this is ok, because in the long run they are the ones spewing away chips. Poker is all about the long run and not results of single hands

You played well, i guess. Don´t be afraid to be bluffed and end your tournament because you couldn`t let go a hand. He unwillingly made a perfect bluff and besides that he had more chips than you. Tournaments are survival games, is better to live another day than risk your life too much just to be a little richer.
