Blinds are 15/30. Early in tourney. It is a micro rebuy tourney. I left the River play off and wanted to see if I played it right up to the river on the play with this sort of board.

SNWL11 (UTG+2): t3960.00 132 BBs
hookahrama (MP1): t3750.00 125 BBs
mashinapoker (MP2): t1965.00 65.50 BBs
WeeMadMike (CO): t1930.00 64.33 BBs
MicroMachina (BTN): t3770.00 125.67 BBs
Hero (SB): t3955.00 131.83 BBs
doatdirl (BB): t2040.00 68 BBs
goliath641 (UTG): t2060.00 68.67 BBs
nsbtoni55 (UTG+1): t2525.00 84.17 BBs

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is SB with T of hearts T of spades
goliath641 raises to t60.00, nsbtoni55 calls t60, 1 fold, hookahrama calls t60, 2 folds, MicroMachina calls t60, Hero calls t45, doatdirl calls t30

Flop: (t360) 7 of diamonds 5 of spades J of hearts (6 players)
Hero bets t175.00, doatdirl folds, goliath641 calls t175, nsbtoni55 calls t175, hookahrama calls t175, MicroMachina folds

Turn: (t1060) 7 of clubs (4 players)
Hero checks, goliath641 checks, nsbtoni55 checks, hookahrama checks

River: (t1060) 5 of clubs (4 players)

Why are you donk leading flop? I don’t see any value in doing that. Check/call flop and check/evaluate turn. Or just check/ fold flop, it’s early and no need to waste chips playing a pp oop with over card in multiway pot.

good eval. I was wanting to show strength in the hand. I wanted to also evaluate it out of the blinds and also encourage being HU is why I did it. I def see your point of not having value there with it being early in tourney. That would have more sense to gain more chips later in the tourney. It is a bit too aggressive move.

It's a rebuy. Why not 3 bet / call and hopefully get it in pre?

if you want to show strength in the hand, then i think 3betting pre is the place to do it. comeing out and leading on the flop looks a bit wtf to our villains, so i doubt they ever call with 99 or a 7 here, basically they will call with J+ or possibly 68 but thats about it.

also, i wonder whether goliath641 is TPE-goliath 😀

thanks. I really was thinking of the 3 bet on that and shove. The resulting hand which I handled correctly was a ship. I just took too many streets to do it. lol. Thanks guys!

Really hawkeye? You would get over 130 bbs in pre with TT in a freezeout?

Im with hawkeye here. I play really agg in the rebuy period and just jam pre here. It sounds silly but if you lose… oh well move on and rebuy. Its all about accumalating chips for later in the tourny. Shoving looks really week and you will often get looked up.

Agree, during a rebuy no problem getting it in pre, the question was would you do it in a freezeout? Except for some spew tard that is shoving every second hand, I just wouldn't want to get over 100BB in pre with TT. Maybe I'm just too much of a nit.

Not in a freezeout. This is a micro rebuy and in the rebuy period.

Yeah, in the dazzler (which is what tourney I think this is) in the rebuy period, I have 3 bet, getting it in…
