$Freeroll NLHE MTT Turbo: KK vs 2+ opponents (MTT-freeroll)

[Ambur]

(35/70 blinds, 14 ante) 9 Players
MP2: 86/23 limp: 63% sample 14 (M:39,1)
CO: 23/0 limp: 25% sample 13 observed him he shoved recently suited connector type hands!
UTG+2: 16/17 limp: 0% sample 19 (M: 5,6)
Hero: 22/17 (M:23)

The main question is how much to raise?

Or someone would flat it?

pot contains (t995) when action came to me!

SB: 1,116 (15.9 bb)
BB: 386 (5.5 bb)
UTG+1: 1,119 (16 bb)
UTG+2: 1,284 (18.3 bb)
MP1: 222 (3.2 bb)
MP2: 9,027 (129 bb)
MP3: 1,901 (27.2 bb)
CO: 2,400 (34.3 bb)
Hero (BTN): 5,307 (75.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K

K

UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises to 140, MP1 raises to 208 and is all-in, MP2 calls 208, MP3 folds, CO calls 208, hero?

The pot is like 13bb , so i would rise to 1050 (15 bb)

Depends on the table raising standards at hand.

Example would be, raise the value of pot or higher.

We want at most 1 opponent to be left at the table.

Only shove preflop, big chances that someone call, it can be said in this tournament you often get call. Because in 100k freeroll you need playing very aggressive and quickly build a stack.

I would raise to 750 - 1000 preflop. No one in their right mind should flat this ever.

 

[WiZZiM]

you want people to call/flat though? lol

jam is fine, also raise to like 6-800 whatever you like really, it all works.

Jes sir!

If someone would flat it, i want to know why since it tend to be so popular these days especially in freeroll!lol

Thought about overbet the size of the pot, good or bad? dunno!

I would pop this up to 1200-1500....I think you could also make a convincing argument to shove pre since it's a freeroll and you already have several people who called the short stack's all-in. I would bet that at least one of those would call with something that would put you at a 70% favorite or better (small pair, A-rag, JT, etc.)

Flatting here is insane, you're giving up a massive amount of equity preflop by allowing multiple people to stay in the pot with weaker hands. It's horrible to flat, see a flop of J53, think you're good because you've got the overpair and build a huge side pot with some donk who you think has something like QJ, JT only to find out he had 53 suited or 33. Either that, or an Ace hits the flop and you have to decide whether or not any of those other players have an Ace, and the more people you see a flop with the more likely it is that one of them does.

I have been playing lots of freerolls recently and noticed most of the time my raising isnt been taken as it should been taken. - I almost never got narrow the field with normal size raise (between 3/4 til pot size). Even if my image is solid. Well next time i will try to make over size bet when similiar situation occure. Just experiment how they will react for this!

Ofcourse can be made convincin argument to do so - since people tend to loose up abit somehow when they see small stack is all in and want to see flop regardless! And look at this ante is 0,2 blind; it is huge. So i will try to take over pot size raises to my arsenal just to mix it up time to time in freelololols

In a regular tourney I would raise to about pot size, so about 12-15bbs.

But because it's a freeroll, I'd just jam it in. honestly, you'll probably still get at least 1 caller. It's like a feeding frenzy once they get some chips invested then when the pot starts to get large they just want to be a part of a big pot and have a shot at a monster stack so tons of speculative hands will call your jam here.
