    Default Early in the Million, river push x2?

    My first poker in a fortnight, a shot at the million.
    (P.S, im such a noob!)
    Utterly standard pushes and not value bets?

    1.
    Opp pretty much has to have two pair by the river of some sort. I guess if he has a set he calls a push yeah? but would he do so with two pair?
    Opp is unknown, but hasnt struck me as bad.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t9875)
    UTG (t9775)
    UTG+1 (t7475)
    MP1 (t10675)
    MP2 (t20075)
    Hero (t12675)
    CO (t10850)
    Button (t8800)
    SB (t9950)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J, T.
    UTG calls t100, 1 fold, MP1 raises to t200, 1 fold, Hero calls t200, CO calls t200, 2 folds, BB calls t100, UTG calls t100.

    Flop: (t1050) 9, K, Q (5 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets t500, Hero calls t500, CO folds, BB folds, UTG folds.

    Turn: (t2050) 2 (2 players)
    MP1 bets t1000, Hero raises to t2900, MP1 calls t1900.

    River: (t7850) 5 (2 players)
    MP1 checks, Hero bets t2500, MP1 calls t2500.

    Final Pot: t12850

    2. The table fish. He isnt horrible, he just likes to call too much and hence im desperate for a call on the river. Does opp still call a push regardless with any two pair combination?

    If you are convinced they both have two pair plus, yes push.

    Hand 1 the question is how much will he call with KJ/KT vs him for sure calling a push with two pair+. Given his line I lean to a value bet here.

    I don't really get hand 2, if he likes to call why not just bet the turn. Or make a real bet on the flop, then maybe I could see turn check. HPS check raise is really weird.

    1) yeah, just shove the river.
    2) why check turn? If you don't want to open push turn, just bet 1/2 pot turn 1/2 pot river gets all the chips in. Or at least push river and hope for a hero call...

    You have great hands you need to build the pot on every street. Hand 1 raise the flop, it will be easy to get all the chips in by the river.

    Hand 2 -- bet the turn.
