Hi all, I don't know where to put this thread in correct section of this website but here two plays stand out to me last night when I played in MTT tournament. Buy in was $60.
Play #1.
2k/4k Blinds. 8 players
Hero: KJo SB (88k)
Villian: BB (267K)
Player A-C Folded. Player D (two from Button) raised 12K. Player E and Button folded. Hero and Villain called.
Flop: KhJh8h --- Hero, Villain and Player D all checked. (Should I had bet???)
T: 6d --- Hero bet 4k, Villain called. Player D folded.
R: 8d --- Hero raised 14k. Villain called and showed Q8s and wins with 3 kinds of 8.
Question is should I had bet on flop instead of waiting on Turn? Villain had 3x more stacks than me that why I was hesitated to make big bet. Three hearts on flop doesn't help either. If it was dry flop, I would had shove in.
What do you think ?
Play #2.
1.5/3k Blinds. 8 players
Hero: 46o (158k) stacks SB
Villain: (157) UTG+1
Player A folded. Villain and Player C called. Player D-E and Button folded. Hero limped in. BB checked.
Flop: 4c2s4h -- BB checked. Villain bet 4k. Player C folded. Hero called. (should I had reraised?) BB called.
Turn: 2d -- All checked. I wish I was in position. I thought Villain would bet. I was afraid of the pair of 2. Villain has history of shove in with pairs.
River: 10c -- Hero bet 8k. BB raised 18k. Villain re-raised 54k. Hero called. ( was it bad pot odds offered to me or did I make incorrect here?) BB folded.
Villain showed a pair of T and win with 3 kind of T.
Player #2 caused me to tilt temporary but shook it off and placed 11 out of 75 players. No money but I still feel two plays above would propel me in the final table if I made a correct call. Or it was just pure luck?
Thank you for your time reading
