Tournament Poker Poker Forums

This is the quarterly 1M supernova+ freeroll. Tournament poker isn't my thing anymore. I used to grind them like 2 years ago. I wonder if this play I made is correct or not. I just got moved to that table and from the 4 hands I got I folded the first 1, shipped the second hand allin vs a minraise with 16bbs holding AK, the hand after I 3bet the guy who I eventually got it allin with to 13775 holding AJ and he folded. The hand right after I got TT and wanted to 3bet to the same amount but made a typo to 18775. Because of me being just at that table and it seems like I am a maniac I felt I had to stack of there. Also if you look at the payout from 600th till 73th just a $200 difference. Isn't that also a reason to play less conservative? Can you flat TT with 23bbs effective btw? I am really tournament rusty and look forward to some answers.

With your image 3 betting small or just shoving are probably both extremely valid. You can flat pre but I would prefer not to unless you think people behind you are squeeze happy and you want to induce. And your correct about the payout that's pretty gradual payout I would be trying to build a big stack and stay on straight +cev bc the jumps are tiny

Thanks for the reply man

That's a sick free roll btw isn't it like 4k up top?

This freeroll has 100k on top with 88k for 2nd.

rob (and everyone else who can play on stars) seriously be grateful you have no idea how good you have it!

You have a great stack to rejam with decent fold equity, I would rejam here often unless ep is a nit or/and flat to induce action from the blinds as rrumsey said but I don't think I'd ever flat here to see a flop, nice play btw.

yeah once you make the money you can pretty much just go buck wild
