Your flop bet's too small.

Re: MTT: Play passive, or was this OK?
id really have to disagree there,,,, i think the flop bet is perfect. its preflop thats MORE questionable than flop. do you have any comments on preflop?

Re: MTT: Play passive, or was this OK?
very standard IMO.
The size of the cont. bet seems fine to me, +EV if it works more than 1/3 the time and all that good HoH stuff. I think taking a second shot at the turn would be a mistake, getting you into dark tunnel territory. As for raising more pf, it generally wouldn't be the best idea I think, but since this is a PP freeroll, you never what his calling ranges could include. Nevertheless, at this stage in the tourny, I like your line. |

Re: MTT: Play passive, or was this OK?
If you're thinking this was passive, what would you call super aggressive? The raise was aggressive, the c-bet was aggressive, the bet on the river was a kamikaze dive. If the c-bet didn't drive him out, then you're asking to watch a lot of your chips slide across the table.
What if he'd called you with K6o? You don't think they will? Play some more. A freeroll, you get away with this sometimes, cause they don't know a starting hand from a butt-scratching hand, but if you play for real, you're toast. Even at the lowest limits you can expect somebody to be playing Ax, which he probably was and the surprising thing is he didn't call, as they are prone to do. What would you have done if he'd reraised your turn? Aside from drinking ritual saki and drawing a sword across your belly?

He didn't bet the river but checked-folded it. Well-played, maybe I would not even have bet the flop thought. Do you think that PP lower than 88 calls you pre-flop or KQ or KJ? If not, don't bet and check fold. |

You did fine. Don't worry about it at all. |

Re: MTT: Play passive, or was this OK?
Not bad.
Preflop, I only raise this about 1/3 of the time from sb (I hate being oop), otherwise I limp it. In this situation a limp would have made a 3 way pot , and I don't hate 88 3-handed. Post-flop, I may bet very slightly more as a continuation bet, but that's arguing semantics. Well done. |
