Hello brother
I'm not going to comment on your crease, what's more, I could have done the same thing you did and I wouldn't feel like a fool about it. Just from what I can see, I'm telling you something I've read about the job manuals.
There are players who take these manuals very rigidly, according to UTG itself, they always open with good cards because in theory you have 8 more positions, you still have to see the course of the play and you can make different plays, such as 3bet, 4bet, etc.
But they also say, and I have seen it especially in many live tournaments, that when you make a miniraise opening from UTG or MP and the play reaches the CO cutoff or the BU button itself, those who are in this position take it very seriously. The manual that you always have to do 3 bets or 4 bets because they say that those positions are like command or fundamental. on the table.
In truth, this doesn't mean that the CO or the BU have, for example, AA KK AK or QQ, but that they manually take control of you even with hands like 77 for example.
If we're going to practice and think about not seeing the precious flop that was meant for you, considering your chip stack, it's possible that I would have equalized that hand.
Many times those calls have worked for me.
If you understand that what I am saying is true, put it into practice in an MTT and realize that the players who are at your table are very rare than those who are in those 2 positions CO and BU or open with a miniraise if the opening reaches them after that, others retire or make 3-bet or 4-bet almost always automatically.
It doesn't always happen, but I've seen this situation a lot at the tables where I play.
And well brother, the decision you made was right or not your decision, none of us can see the flop or the turn or the river beforehand, otherwise this would be very easy hahahaha
A big hug. Carlos
