Default Re: Troubling decison playing a trash hand early in low buyin mtt

Given the level of the buy-in, I think the first mistake you made is the check-raise into three villains.

In general, they simply don't know to fold. If three guys have put money into the pot, one of them is willing to go to felt with mediocre hands. You WILL have to hit your draw to win the hand.

For this hand, I don't like the CR with this kind of coordinated flop. With three other limpers, chances are good that someone caught a piece of it, and it may well have smacked somebody very hard. JTo is going to call you down here, and you don't want that.

As for calling down I really don't think it's a good idea. With all this action I don't wouldn't count any of your club outs, and it looks like someone either has or is drawing to the higher straight. If you're lucky, someone hit a set, and even then there's the boat to think about.

Yuck.

Best,

Sam
