Here's the hand:

UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t200, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, <font color="CC3333">MP3 raises to t900</font>, CO folds, Hero calls t900, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls t700.

<font color="CC3333">MP3 bets t5823 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t12023


I'm thinking I should've raised pre-flop.....but I didn't. So how should I play this hand after the flop. What's the right amount to bet after the UTG+1 checked. Or should I check also?

No, not really. She actually went on to win the tourney.

one reason to just call before the flop is to not risk a lot of chips if you miss on the flop so you can easily fold with a small pot. so if you decide to call you should probably just fold. but that applies to an unraised pot. here you should reraise or go all in preflop if you are going to play.

i think it's questionable what to do PF. calling is OK, re-raising all-in would also be OK. however I don't like your bet on the flop. I think you gotta check/fold there. You have nothing.

Thanks for your responses. After I folded, she showed AKo. I guess she sensed weakness in my bet on the flop.
