i probably just check pre-flop for deceptive purposes/pot control out of position with a vulnerable hand multi-ways.

As for what you did and how you played post-flop, I don’t mind anything at all.

Thanks Wein – I will check that spot nect time.. So after I check pre, I would play post flop the same?

Why check preflop?

Because the blinds are still low compared to the stacks so it’s better to play it for set value or just a general line to take with TT at any stage of a tourney?

I think TT is way to strong to just check it preflop against 2 limpers, but I see you mentioned for deceptive purposes so I assume that you are thinking like raise 70% times, check 30% to keep your opponents guessing?

As played I would bet 500-550 on the flop, pot on the flop is 40+80+80+80+270+270 = 820, just betting 365 is way to low IMO.

On the turn the pot is 820+365+365 = 1550 so I think that 1000-1200 just cause the board is getting dangerous with that A and you are leaving yourself with a nice sized shove on the river. Pot will be 3120 and you will have around 2790 behind.

On the river the pot is 1550+785+785 = 3120 and as played its a fold cause it completes all draws that your opponent might be chasing, and I think you gave him a very good price for chasing it.

I think Wein wants to check pre flop because he doesn’t like playing big pots OOP deepstacked with hands that don’t flop particularly well. I tend to agree with him on that but I would have a hard time just checking TT and letting all these ridic ranges come along with me to a flop.
