Poker Tournament Strategy Quiz

You continue with another bet. Regardless of what he has you will be able to tell the strength of his hand after the follow up bet. If he is has an over pair he may re raise your raise and you will know. If he has something like an AJ he will simply call. If he is baiting you with a big hand he will let you know by the river. Either way, a check will most likely cause you to lose to a decent size raise.

since too much straight possibilities just check / call it down, or mb raise a little as a defender bet, he probabaly has like AK, AQ, TT, 88, or a lower pair like 44, 55, imo u check it down cuz too much straight, and call all the way unless he makes huge bets cuz it would mean he has straight or something strong or just tries to represent it but its unlikely with those stats

[leejames1982]

playing multi tables is bullshit, how can you tell me that you can play even just 2 separate tables and concentrate properly on every move made by every player and memorise there play? its imposible you will miss too much information, when playing a tournament i watch carefully every move made by every player therefore you need 100% concentration on your table. people that say they play up to 4 tables at once i dont consider them to be a good player.

[jasminetomcat]

@leejames1982 yeah thats a great point - if youre not paying attention to all the moves, you can't read the opponents, and you're stuck just playing your cards

and what i would do? follow your advise: with small hands keep the pot small, with big hands make the pot big, and with the nuts try to get everything he's got.

if he/she makes a fair raise either flat call or fold, since if you raise on the river, you will only get called/raised with hands that beat you.

but wait a minute. you do have top pair. you're not about to throw that away against any raise. TI say he/she is a rock. i would flat call small bets, fold to big raises in THIS CASE.

[M3T4LSTORM]

33, 66 or maybe even 9d6diamonds (not likely though). 7d8d is also a possibility.

my money is on 7d8d.

[LYLEJONSSON1983]

trips? coulda had trips idk

[martysparty2042]

How can you possibly say the 5 on the turn was a brick??? 7 8 just got there and based on the action there is a very real possibility that he holds that hand.

[SubtleBuffaloCartoon]

well what was the result?

[ErsinYildiz]

if u can count to 52....u dont need any poker odd calculator or what ever!!!

[jaydeez2006]

I put him on 33.

[f8twista]

Without any info on the opponent I'd put her on an overpair like 10's or J's, or a drawing hand like A5suited. The board is relatively harmless except to a set or overpair, but I would check and see what she bets out.

[TheIllegit]

I'd do some more research on my opponent. He's obviously bad just based on the fact that he minbet the flop which 0% of good players would do there. And against a bad player I think you just have to shove to protect your hand, although you may obviously be beat. He could easily have a hand like 88, 77, J9s, T9s, AK, AQ. He could also play some huge hands like this, but it seems unlikely. Shove

[LukyLukeAAA]

i would check and see his reaction, even maybe i would call on the river if no A or no higher pairs than nine. risky but just in case it's got pokets cards higher than the nines.

[phillikesu]

he may have AK AQ maybe AJ 88 or 77 (his hand range)tough ummmm i would shove there what did you do and what did he have?

[jhav0c]

raise more on the flop to give yourself an easier potsized shove on the turn. this way you'll still get value against worse hands on the turn.

whereas if you openshove this for over potsize, you're repping a monster and weaker 9s (i'm thinking T9 and 98 here) have a faiirly easy fold.

[markthefish2]

what happened then turtleknife we all want to know

[ketchup143]

i think marty has the best hand here, and since the other guy's tight, i wouldn't push in this situation. i'd probably bet 1200-1500 since it would appear to the other guy that i'm trying to get paid off. i definitely wouldn't check here because u can't afford to give someone a free card with only top pair. the other guy's prolly gonna call with a mid size bet if he has anything. if he reraises me all-in, then i'd call since the pot odds dictate this move

[MachineManX51]

First of all, I don't know about your min raise assessment. I usually see people min raise either with a huge pair like kings or aces OR with a marginal no limit hand like Ace Queen off suit. Ace Queen is huge in limit and seems to go hand in hand with the min raise from a player who is accustomed to playing limit.

Anyway, all in looks good to me.

[Bonobo1974]

you shove and he calls with 78 diamonds

[vladzhuk]

SHOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OpanchoO]

just go all in and hope you suck out if you're against a bigger pair...

[pistou9]

Tough... but I think I would have to fold here since my bankroll is pretty low... on the hand IF i had a bigger bankroll I would probably go over the top all in..??

[stuzi]

im playing the best poker thanks to ur video but bad beats seem to $%^& me bad ive had like 10 in a week...

[HorseSchack]

Marty because of your mzone videos my bankroll went from 43 bucks to $1,100 in less than week! I have never had so much in an account before. A first place finish, and two thirds! TurtleKnife rocks!
