in a 162 im more inclined to flat and play a smaller pot out of position than i am in a lower stakes tournament, where my goal is to usually get it in as fast as possible

If you aren't 3-betting here out of the blinds with QQ vs. a mid-position 3x raise, you're not winning many tournaments. QQ crushes the 2nd-level, mid-position opening range of essentially any style of player.

And for what it's worth the objective should most definitely NOT to get 100bbs in preflop, whether it's a $3 MTT or the Nightly Hundred Grand. I raise to 270 (9bbs......I have 91bbs behind) and re-evaluate after the raiser's next action.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Just sayin'

lol u just have to play it accordingly. what if they flat u pre and lead a 9 T 2 flop or c/r u? then what?

By your passive action pre-flop you are conceding the advantage to not 1, but 2 opponents that will act after you in a multi-way pot. You have not given either of them an opportunity to make a mistake.

How is this +EV? My post-flop example is just semantics.

DEFINITELY this!!!

totally agree with this guy. i would re-raise here and if someone re-re-raises me it's obvious that they have AA and i probably fold. maybe could flat if his re-re-raise is small and try to hit a set (after all, ther'es always a chance someone is getting crafty with big slick)

definitely have to be raising here, don't wnat some guy with AJ in there and give him a chance to just hit an ace for only 90 chips

Repopping to 325sh

out of position deep. i like flatting here sometimes, if you 3 bet and he calls and an ace or king flops how do u proceed? in position i 3 bet everytime. really depends. if im on tilt i probalby make it 500 or shove :)

not like ur gonna win a huge pot from JJ or TT...unless he is a fucktard. which since ur playing a $162 tourney i doubt it.

think position is more key deep stacked bra.

position-deep-bra work it work it, feel the flow.
