This is a $27 Bovada MTT, one of the contender event thingies, 14 left. 

I thought front loading was better here, despite villain having a decent amount of air in their range. It is a flop that my flatting range pre can hit pretty hard (obviously), and I think if I’m ever check raising this is a hand I want in that range. I could possibly do this with a bare 8, 9, or 4 as well.

I’ve been fairly aggressive at this table so far, and most people have seemed willing to let me do as I please. So I thought image wise it was a good spot to raise as well.

A couple questions: 

-How’s my sizing? 

-What do we think of villain’s range when he flats?

-If I’m ever bluff raising the flop, I think this turn card would be one I’d continue with? 

Checking and jamming both came to mind as well.
