  1. This is hand #3 from FTP's 10+1 Midnight madness turbo mtt. Obviously no reads.

    I am looking for advice on playing the turn here. What is my best play on the turn? Is my shove bad because I'd only get called by a hand that has me beat?

    I'm not a tourney n00b, but would like some advice from the community on the hand.

  2. your shove is less than the pot so it looks natural to me, but I'm no expert
  3. Looks fine to me, wp. Definitely not only getting called by hands that beat you here, as 3rd hand of a $10 tourney you may get calls from A9, 1010, etc (prob not from a FTOPS winner, but you know what I mean).

    I guess you could check looking to induce a bet/shove from a weaker hand, but it is a very drawy board and he may check it through for a free look at the river.
  4. Hand looks fine to me. My cont. bet here would probably be a little smaller, probably 300-360ish but thats just me. Your shove on the turn is less then a pot sized bet so pretty standard imo.
