I’m all about aggression and pot building in these spots. Bring as many players along or get them all to fold. Hopefully nothing in between!
In tournaments I often find myself playing these
hands from the blinds or in mid to late position. Much of how I act depends on the table/pre flop aggression. I don’t like checking to players that like to bet the close to the size of the pot w cbets. When OOP with them, I tend to lead w a bet around 1/4-1/3 of the pot. I’m really hoping they have a couple overs and want to slow down because of my idiot bet into them. I definitely am looking to build a pot or take it down immediately.
In position I will call bets of a moderate size. Pot size bets are okay for me as long as I have backdoor redraws such as three to a flush. From the button I’m probably going to fire if everyone checks. If the board texture looks positive, I’ll run the hand like I have the nuts - betting “for value” all the way down - as long as they keep checking and it doesn’t terribly aff ft my tourney status.
