Tripping

This is early in the 25 deep stack tourney on FT.

I could play all streets differently. BodBro moved to the table with 6k, then stacked AA after calling a raise and spiking set.

i like it

I like it too...although lately I'd then get a call to someone with a flush.

My chips would go in somewhere along the line. Was your check on the turn to induce a bet? If so, I might have reraised, but you want him to call so I think it's fine.

FH and AQ and QJ are the hands that beat you. But, I don't think you can even think about that with this hand since you have second best kicker and HU. It is unlikely that they have a Q as well. I can see a smooth call pre from him with 22, 55, and JJ. But again, you're not getting away from this hand.

[drmcboy]

1) In no way am I worried about being beat. If I am behind, I'm going broke and that's fine. Focus is on getting as many chips in the pot as possible

2) will weaker hands call a smaller bet on river?

3) Will he bluff if checked to?

3) Is he more likely to call a turn CR AI or this open push if he does not have a Q?

3b) If he only calls with a Q on the river (or turn CR), is there any point in shoving here, since he'll always bet a Q and will have to call any re raise even if he doesn't set me in?

I don't get it. Either c/push or lead the turn.

Also the only hands that call a river value bet (that don't have you beat) are middle pairs and they're more likely to call a smaller bet.

I like the flop bet, villain probably has a range from 55-AA and any queen on the flop, i like the turn check to signal that your bet maybe just was a contin. bet but would probably c/r on the turn to around 700-750, push on the river i dont like since the 3rd spade comes, you are representing a stronger hand then you have, i would prefer c/r turn and value bet river...

Looking back I also thought I should just lead turn. I was hoping he would bet more on turn and feel like he had to call a CR with 99/TTish, then he bet smallish so I decided to get fancy, but afterwards it seemed meh.

As played I don't think I get called by anything < Q with either turn CR or river push.

The other option is check river? Does he have air more than PP?
