I'm confused
Silver Level
OK, this isn't a specific hand but I would like to get everyones opinion on how to play these hands. These are hands that get alot of people in trouble including me.
You are in a $30 MTT with about 500 players to start. Top 50 paid. It's middlish part of the tourney with 250 players left. You are around 100 in chips, so top half. Blinds are 200/400 and you have about 25,000 chips. Villan has 30,000. You just recently moved to this table and have seen 3 hands none of which you or villan participated in. The play overall at this stage of the tourney has been fairly tight.
You are in middle position and pick up AK or AQ. It's been folded around to you and you bet 1200 (this bet has usually picked up the blinds with sometimes one caller, rarely more than that). Villan calls. Flop comes 10-6-2 rainbow.
Scenerio #1: There is 3000 in the pot. You are first to act, Villan was on the button, do you:
A) Check
B) Bet half the pot or so
C) Bet the pot
D) Push all-in
Scenerio #2: There is 2600 in the pot villan was the BB, Villan checks, do you:
A) Check
B) Bet about half the pot or so
C) bet the pot
D) Push all-in
Scenerio #3: There is 2600 in the pot, villan was the BB, Villan bets 1500, do you:
A) Fold
B) Call
C) Reraise about 3-4 thousand more
D) Reraise All-in
Scenerio #4: There is 3000 in the pot, you checked the flop and villan also checked, turn card is a jack not suited with any other cards up. You are first to act, do you:
A) Check
B) Bet about half the pot
C) Bet the pot
D) Push all-in
Scenerio #4: There is 6000 in the pot. On the flop you bet 1500 and villan called. Again the turn is an unsuited jack. Do you:
A) Check/call
B) Check/fold
C) Check/raise
D) Bet half the pot
E) Bet the pot
F) Push all in
I would be interested to see how you all would play this. Please say why you would take the actions you did, don't just pick a letter.
