It"s level 300/600/a50, and I have 18k. (just moved up from 6k, and am above starting stack for first time in tourney - 6 hours in!). I have a tight image at table, although this hand is with a guy who just arrived.... no info on him at all. SB has also just arrived and already shown a tendency to be super-loose with his massive stack.
I"m UTG and have 88, and choose to limp, with a plan to shove over any raise from three particular serial 3-bettors, or fold to any other raises.
Folds round to the super loose SB who makes up, and the BB checks..... 3 way to the flop.
FLOP - 82K rainbow. SB and BB check, and I check behind, hoping to show weakness that will get the super-loose SB into action.
Turn A (full rainbow). SB and BB check again, and I checked again, still trying to get the SB into action. [I feel I should have tried to get a pot on the go at this point though.]
River J. SB checks, BB bets 1100 into 2300 pot. I raise to 3300. SB folds. BB shoves (has me covered).
So - having slow played a flopped set to try and get a max payoff, I now have to call for my tourney. I have no reads on the BB player, and he is displaying no obvious weakness or strength physical tells. I have to make a decision based on situation and maths.
Call or fold?
