Limp, Min Raise, Over Call, Action to you With a guarantee of 3 people wanting to play.

Obviously we are raising - I'd choose a size between 225-300.

I would size up a little bit more if they seem sticky, If you get more than 1 caller though, you are looking at a pot sized shove on the turn. I'd be worried a size like 180 wont get any folds and you'll be going 4 ways minimum to a flop in a bloated pot trying to dodge alot of landmines.

Thank you for posting.

This spot is made for a huge over bet raise. 10x gets one caller and we shove flop! the huge raise looks like we want folds and someone will not fold because of it.
We may choose to shove here as well if we think we will get called.

The issue with this spot of raising 4x or 5x is the UTG can call with their stack size-that gives all the other players better odds to call so this can go 4 ways easily at that bet size.
The other players seldom reraise there either.


We want to think about
It is a freeroll so with players over playing top pair folding AA post flop is very difficult. Not to mention strange bets with odd parts of their range when it is multiway.

Hope this helps

Since it's a freeroll, I thing we need to raise huge and if we get 1 caller, go all-in on the flop. I would also consider a shove pre-flop.

This is a CardsChat freeroll though right? We play a little better in freerolls here I hope

In real money tournaments I iso the limpers with a 3.5x-4x raise +1 bb for every added limp . In freerolls I surely size it up because players won't fold.
64 bbs are still too many bbs for a 2bet jam IMO but if you have a note that there is a super sticky opponents then I find no reason to go for it.

There are multiple ways to proceed with the action of the hand in question, for me the line that would be more rational to play is to raise pre-flop to something around 300 to 440 chips minimum, to make the pot more expensive already and maybe collect the dead money from the pot, as we are talking about a freeroll and people usually don't shy away from raises, be careful in the extremely wet flops, to use a c-bet, and choose the size according to the number of players left in the hand, prefer high values for multi-way to shorten the number of players soon, and also protect the value of your hand, now if it becomes a HU flop, will depend on being in position or not, OOP I prefer to have larger sizes to make it harder for the villain to float me, however I prefer to use small bets when I'm IP.

As mentioned here before, another alternative is to look at the hand because it's the beginning of the tournament, we have a lot of fishes and calling stations, maybe it's interesting to take an approach similar to push fold, and push all in on this hand pre-flop.
