Only one hand on the villain, so no reads here whatsoever.

In earlier stages, I like to test people out when they donk lead weak like this, but this situation 3-way late in the tournament is obviously different. Also, this is not a great board for us to be doing that as if offers many draws, so we are less likely to get a fold.

Are we ok here to just peel and re-evalute on the turn given the villain/board/situation?

i probably raise this situation to 5800 ,if he has the q he will call you ,flush draws do either a jam or call and all weaker hands fold or possibly call[a-7,5-6,a-4]

if the turn is lets say a 5d and he checks i will time bank 3-4 seconds than check it back for pot control

i find this being a better way to pot control if he does have the queen or 99 tt, i think calling here will bring a larger turn bet compared to the 3800 raise on the flop ,idk i'd like to hear from others on this one

i am def not folding the flop to a 2k lead off im going to play the board Edited By: double_kyan May 26th, 2012 at 08:42 PM

Don't really see what a raise does for us here, except for maybe a cheap showdown, then just minraise or ~4300... but usually a weak floplead in these stakes is followed by another weaklead or a check... so just call this bet and don't fold unless he goes huge when obv draws hit or sum
