$320 6max

[Micro2Macro]

field is about 150, kinda top heavy payout. its a regional (canadian) donkament. lots of people have satty'd in so not really playing nearly as tough as it would be if it were just a regular $300 buyin. we're over an hour in, villain is a small stakes mtt reg, nothing spectacular. seems to have good basic understand of sd value, position and shit. ive been extremely card dead up until now and have been running very tight. have only shown down strong starting hands.

he's playing something like 26/13 - we started with 250bb stacks so i imagine hes playing a bit more tight/aggro pre now (or at least he has been through observation)

so i obv look strong as fk cbetting here into the field. he didn't think too long before calling turn or anything. as played shovel to move him off splits?

1/2 the pot i would bet.... he has the Q and will call any bet, if he doesnt like this you get some more chips from him.

Gawd what a terrible card. I certainly don't play anywhere near these stakes, but yeah, seems like I'd rather shove here and be beat than check and call his shove. I don't think you're pushing too many people off a Q here even with the scary board. Maybe different at these stakes but seems like all the money is going in if he has a Q (or a boat obviously). You're willing to get it in after all and you just have a Q now.

Yuck, so many scary holdings fit the betting though - AJ, KJ, JT.

Actually, maybe what Razvan said? If he does have AK, KT, Jx etc. here, throw out a value bet that might get called? Then plan on calling a shove still.

I'd check & hope he decides to bluff with Kx/underbets if he is full

If you check and he shoves are you calling of folding?

[drmcboy]

calling. He won't be full near enough to fold, most people would raise two pair+ on flop and would have raised AJ on turn.
