Small pp early

[martindcx1e]

Ok so I'm not exactly sure what to be doing pre-flop at this point in the tourney with small pairs so just let me know if pre-flop is bad. I think I remember now that HOH says when your M drops below 20 playing for sets is a no-no so I guess that's my answer. On to post-flop...

The pfr in this hand has been very active, raising a lot of hands from any position. The flop cbet screams "please take the hand away from me" to me. Do you c/r this with 1 left to act or let it go?

Fold preflop, fold flop.

this looks like one of those hands where you decide to play for set value preflop and then decide that your hand must actually be good when the flop comes and there's so much money out there.

I raise preflop and then I can get away relatively cheaply if repopped.

If you think the CO is full of it, then just push pre.

As played, I prolly push against that bet.

preflop fold too?

me? Probably not...I probably call the raise miss the set and wait for better days

Fold pre, as played the call of the raise is mandatory; c/f flop.

ok thanks guys. afterwards i was kicking myself cuz i realized that was a raise/fold preflop. i ended up shoving on mr. weak cbetting CO and got called by MP1 with Ac9c and CO with KsQs (wtf?). to my amazement my hand held vs. their combined like 20 outs or something so that was nice
