As its an MTT, not a zoom game or a PKO - hand after hand you will be faced with the similar players. So the actions can be collected, and the players will be able to have some informations about how others are playing their different combinations.
Moreover, your game can be putted in a line. And the way you making your raises and calls considering positions and stack sizes will determine wether you are out or in the line. Basically, are you an agressive, tight or balanced player, bad or good.
Someone who is raising 8bbs without any action before their open, just making no-sense. You can open as much as you want of course, but your main task is always be to make as much value as you can if you're winning the hand, or make as much loss as you can, if you will be loosing it.---> 8bb raise just cut out maybe almost every
hands even this early, and a great card will be just burn without making a value from it, and this risky big open will end up in the dustbin.
In addition, a player just standing with 9bbs. Which means, he can't make any other interactions pre, if she goes here all-in, and others just making their calls. So this has not only 1 but 2 huge mistakes what he could do here with a single bad opening.
As villain showed way too much agression in one hand, we have to see that he is willing to put his entire stack on the board on some street if not pre. So the question is: Do we think 22 is a hand that can make us a winner from it? I believe the answer is never. So definitely not wanted to see get into 8bbs from our 50bbs. And as there are still some space for players to joining in, our hand even 'd become worse.
------------------
We hit the lowest set, which we was seeking for. The board is not rainbow, however no straight possibilities, so at least straight is not a thing just flush and bigger sets right now. I mean this continuation bet is very scary still. And as much as I believe that craziness can't be measured, we just have to be prepared for everything here: like every pocket, every flush draw, AKo, Qx.
Now the pot is enormus, and he does willing to put his entire stack in, we should see it by now if we missed pre, cause he continued the building: the pot is 2/3 huge as his stack. As much as I can't say a range to this action, its gonna be
gambling. Moreover, still one person to act and somehow people keep denying folding the flush draws.
So I clearly can't give you any advice here. Its still a very off action from each of your sides as I don't think your actions will ever determine the outcome here, it will be pushed to all-in every time from opp. Maybe a min-raise or 3x two-bet could at least scare away BB and you can make your gamble against the 8bb guy now.
Good luck for you, I mean card selection is everything.
