    Default 60 - Medium suited connector early

    Preflop is debatable. Can I fold to the flop minraise? What about on the river?

    Preflop is indeed debatable, I'd probably fold.

    And I'd more than probably fold to the postflop minraise, minraising a 1/2 pot bet automatically suggests to me that opponent has hit at least TPGK and is looking to build a pot, so I more than likely fold there and save myself what is more often than not a -EV situation.

    Turn and river are both well played in my opinion.

    Isn't it pretty early in the tournament to be playing suited mid connectors against a raise in Mid position?
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    You'd play them against a raise in mid position later in the tournament?

    Seriously, I think it's more of a preference thing. 3xbb in the second round of a Stars Sng is a very small raise.

    I called the river because I felt like someone who min-checkraised the flop was very capable of playing AK or AQ like this. TT and JJ popped into my mind too. What do you put him on by the river?
