This. I'm not 3-betting if I don't what stacks in right now. 3-bet for value/folding is generally bad anytime but preflop.

I play so bad. I mucked 10 9 and villain showed me 9 7 and said "I had you"

^^ for sure @KK on 432tt, I wouldn't bet big. I think $5-$7 is goot, sets up ez half pot turn shove and it gives him the illusion of weakness/fold equity.Don't be scurred of flush draws 100bb deep in 4b pot with a kang and another kang.

I shoved on both. And these hands happened within 5 minutes of each other at the beginning of my session. And after both hands, I immediatly thought that I played them terribly.On the first hand I 3x from UTG and get flatted by CO and Button. BB makes it 3.75. So pot is now 6.1 and I have 24.25 left. Now I start looking at it like if I raise a normal amount, its over 1/3 of my stack and actually nearly half my stack. For some reason I have always played in such a way that if you are putting in between 1/3 and 1/2 of your stack with a re-raise you might as well shove. I might have picked this up from when I played a lot of low buy-in MTTs back in 2006... Another thing that feels awkward is if I do make the raise to between the 10-12 mark, the BB should know that I am never folding. so if i assume he is somewhat competent, what does he do against a raise that puts in nearly half my stack? Will he fold JJ, QQ, AK? That would blow. How about instead of 10-12, if I just click it back and minbet?On the second hand, the post flop one, I think this is another leak I have. The pot is 14, so I think that since I only have a little more than pot size bet left I might as well shove. Since a standard CB would pot committ me anyway. This may be another MTT thinig i started doing 5 years ago. And after that bet villain would auto-know that i am again never folding. By the way, I definetly like the small bet line. Maybe even smaller like 3? Then turn could be 6. River could be the rest. Or what about just auto-checking twice and hope that he bluffs or vaule bets thinly by the turn?

Villian is usually pretty tight, 23/18/7 3bet Villian lost 2ai's in 2 orbits, I've 3bet 3 hands in a row while I was IP with him. he typed out, "**** off dickhead" in the chat as well.

I call. I doubt anyone plays a FH like this and probably not aces or kings either. I guess KdKx would make some sense and even then we're ~30%...pf I'm fine with.

Bet $5-7 and evalBased on aggression factors of the villains we can have a tough spot if we get a lot of action on this board.UTGs flatting range is almost always a pocket pairs and he doesn't open a lot of suited connectors from utg as an 18/13 and he prob doesn't call with like AQ KQ type hands. If you get a lot of action from utg, its bc I'm wrong and he does have AQ and 77 makes up the majority of his value range, imo.

[KingJames]

@JJ- good fold imo.
