I would be 3 x BB raising utg.
With the 2 callers and a dangerous flop of 789 a smaller c-bet of, say, 3/4 of the pot as a feeler to see where I am.
With the 2 all ins I am folding, due to the possibility of one of them either already hitting the str8, a set or on a str8 or flush draw.
As George says, need to keep it pretty much standard on how you play weak and strong hands so that they don"t know what range of hands you are possibly raising or c-betting with.
Good fold anyhoo and how did you finish up?
Also, I was in a similar scenario with that flop in Walsall.
Both of us have approx 11k, him slightly more chips than I.
I have TJ on the BB, utg limps in, and I flat check. Flop comes down 789 giving me the str8. I check, he bets, i reraise over the top and then I cant recall exactly but I think he went all in there or he reraised again and I put the rest of my chips in.
He shows 77 for a set and I have the str8, 7 to J, turn comes an 8 and thats me out of the tournament.
Afterwards I gave it a great deal of thought, and maybe I shouldve just called his bet post flop rather than re-raising to see that turn card and then if the board hasnt paired, with only 1 card to go make an all in push, my thinking on this tho is there was no way he was folding his set.
What do you think on my play and what went down? Should I have raised pre, would it have made any difference to the outcome of the hand? Was I being over keen to call his all in?
