This feels awkward, B/C or C/F?

[sk8r_daniel]

So I decide to play a tourny after donking most of my roll at cash games and get in this spot. Villain seems like a typical passive tourny donk. I'm sure we all know a limp calling range here, but What is my best line? Without putting in a range in pokerstove I can't seem to tell if I should preserve my stack and wait for a better spot or just jam it in and pray.

My instinct says to bet close to pot and call remaining.

Any thoughts?

I would raise more pre so you can shove the flop without the over bet. Makes it not awkward.

I don't think you have any choice but to just move in, with read seems doubtful he'll bluff and maybe you can get him to fold something like JT with a heart.

I think your plan should have been to either:

a) raise more preflop and shove majority of flops

b) shove preflop

c) check and play for set value

I think vs the limp/calling standard raises range of most passive donks at this level, shoving is slightly better as the majority of flops totally suck for us, and I've seen lots of donks call shoves with small pairs here. Since no reads about the middle position limping tendencies of this particular villain were provided, my default would just be to shove here and avoid tough decisions since most flops won't be great for us. We get folds a very high % of the time and when he actually has a hand he's willing to call with, say with a range of QQ+ AK or whatever we still have about 35% equity. If he does show up with a strong hand be sure to make note of it though.

As played just ship it in and note what he calls with if he calls.
