this is a fairly simple circumstance that these online tournaments where you often have high blinds relative to you stack size seems to make difficult for me.
I have TT on the button and around 8k.the blinds are 200-400. UTG opens for 1350 and its folded to me. i just got moved to this table and have no read on player. what is your default play here. there are about 100 out of 600 players left and he has me covered. 60 places play. seems like a simple situation but if i raise it has to be all in or in any case im commited. calling seems resonable but it will be a difficult hand to play unless i flop aset. the average chip count is around 5500 so im not really shortstacked but at the same time am shortstacked enough to limit my options. comments appreciated matty |

default (for me) is easy fold. no reason to play this hand with a decent chip stack. better spots will be coming. if you felt like you MUST play this hand, i'd cold call and hope for a 9 high ragged flop (unlikely) and take a shot at it. otherwise, no sense in playing this difficult-to-play hand against someone who can end your night.

Seems like an easy call to me. I don't like raising here and have the guy push. Folding TT on the button to one player is too weak-tight. Yeah, it can be tough to play after the flop, but you'll have position that should help compensate. if it comes 9 high and he bets the pot, yeah, you have a tough choice. But the preflop call is pretty standard.

I agree. I think you should call here. There is a good chance that he has two overcards and will miss the flop. Since you have position, you will able to get a read on him after the flop and get a sense if the flop hit him. If he makes a weak beat or checks into a ragged flop, then your TT is probably good.

I fold in that position. With no reads and a raise more than 3x the bb... that is just out of range for my type play.

It depends on UTG's chip count for me. If he has under 4k chips, I put him all in. If he has over 4k but doesn't have me covered, I call and look at the flop. If he has me covered, I fold and wait to get reads and a better situation.

What is UTG's stack size?
Very important for determining how to play this. Regards, Woodguy |

Ok so say you just call and the flop comes with only one over card xxK or xxQ how do you go from there? I'm assuming you'd have to judge based on the strength your opponent shows after the flop, but it's a tough spot that I have trouble with.

If he makes a moderate bet, 1/3 to 2/3 the pot I'll call and play the turn.
