Early in tourney. No real reads to mention.

Re: sailboats in MP
My guess is he has a deuce, Ace, or is slowplaying a 6. You say he's horrible, which makes this more difficult to surmise.
Could his river bet be a bluff? I don't see why he wouldn't try to...

\"Guaranteed\" tourneys-----newbie questions
I see buy-in for a "$2000 guaranteed" multi-table tourney on Empire is $10 + $1.
There are only 50 people registered 30 min prior to its start.
So the prize pool is $2000 "guaranteed", even...

Re: KK in MP - turn check?
Based on his flop call, looks to me like UTG is more likely to have flushed than SB. SB's flop play makes me think he's put you on AK/AQ, has a T or a mid-high pp, and is 3-betting to get rid of...

Read my earlier post. With what hand do you think villain is calling a 3-bet pre-flop and seeing the turn and river? Heart draw folds river, so hero bet mostly likely earns nothing. I don’t think...

Betting and being check-raised, you're saying don't call and possibly folding the best hand. Betting and him folding means you didn't earn another bet. Checking through means you pay nothing more...

Re: AKs hand
Actually, on second thought, 33 and 88 seem less likely, especially with the turn raise on the A, but there's still a lot of hands left.

Re: 88 on the Button
I like it all until the river. I would just check, as I don't think it's a good spot to value bet. SB called a 3-bet pre-flop and stayed in all the way. If you have SB beat, there's a good chance...

Re: River call or fold?
I call here. You probably lose, but obviously your win pct. can be low here and still be a profitable play.

Re: A10o keeps confusing me
With 4 limpers in front of you, I'm OK with the PF call. Raising isn't going to cut the field down to less than 4 + you, IMO.
