    Preflop: 150-180 to go. You have position postflop, use it! Ideally you want to be HU on the flop.

    Flop: I would be raising his weak bet on the flop to 360-400 with 2 players seeing the flop. I much prefer this line than minraising the turn bet. If he called your flop bet with something like JT, don't let him see a cheap turn card, you can't slowplay this.

    Turn and river play differently if you follow this line, but as you played it I wouldn't minraise the turn.

    have to say i hate the line.


    little more preflop.

    reraise that bet, weak bet sshould be treated as such till you know any different.

    as played minraise on turn is terrible NEVER EVER MINRAISE.

    as played river aint so bad to check down.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    I think preflop is good. Flop I would raise to around 400. If called, only call small bets on the turn and river, otherwise check it down.

    I think you'll find that if you raise the flop to 400 you'll get folds and hence won't need to worry about turn and river play.

    My thinking for minraising the turn was to have it checked down to me on the river rather than having to call a huge bet. For some reason i thought someone could have KQ here, i dont know why. Alls well as i still won the tourney.

    Preflop a little more but w/e.

    Definitely raise the flop! You're giving free cards to both Mr. Pussybet and UTG without knowing where you stand. Not knowing where you stand will cost you more than saving 250-300 on the flop.. I would check turn if called and re-evaluate the river.

    As played, bet or push river. I thin value bets.

    Raise to 360 on flop. Really no point in playing TPTK passively in multiway pot.
