preflop you can open this, but it's a trouble hand so you have to be careful

i don't hate your postflop play actually. The river we could just flat, but raising hopefully folds out a ton of his Ax type hands. Just know that he will call with most of his pairs, but he probably doesn't have many in his range here, Jx and maybe A6 would call here, so it's a relatively cheap bluff so i actually like your play here good stuff.

Do you use a HUD?

yes still running on HM trial. will be buyin PT4 as soon as trial ends.

this tourney still going on. already cashed. let's see how far i can get with some luck.

"jivaro" is a free HUD i think, it works just fine but only gives basic info whcih is all you really need anyways. Unless you are planning to take it seriously and play for money, huds are kind of unimportant, especially in MTTs. Use the free one and see what you think.

yes normally depending on how deep i am i would just fold KQo early position. but here i decided to take a chance with a preflop min-raise.

i do plan to play this seriously but at the moment not really feeling the need for a premium software.

I think they're worth it just for the mucked hands, personally. The stats are handy but not essential
