Live $300 Buy In Tourney

[blakheart 3]

I am playing in a live $300 buy in tourney in reno last week. The structure is pretty poor, 30 min blind level increases. We started with $4000 in chips $25, 25 blinds. My table has all of the original players that started the tournament 2 hours ago. villian is steamming right now. He made a hero call with 44 on a A23 board only to get sucked out on the river. I previously laid down a river push by villian where I thought he might be bluffing. My play has been tight and conservative to this point.

Tough One - based on your read of villain and the fact he knows you are able to fold I'd have to call here.He could put you on a button steal and a failed CB. After you check the turn, he probably feels that you've given up on the hand.

Would you fire a 2nd bullet on the turn? I was wanting the free card, figuring I may have as many as 11 outs and possibly the best hand unimproved. But I could se jamming the turn as well.

I could see jamming but villain is steaming so not sure how much fold equity you have. Pot is big enough where there is benefit to witting the pot outright and like you said, you have up to 11 outs if you get called.

I don't know about this call. You shouldn't be in this place anyways, if you were going to ponder a big call like this you should have pushed the turn. I make a VERY similar play to villains if I have flopped 2pr or better. I try and stack hero by pushing into what I assume is a big A after the checked turn.

Think you need to make your move on the turn as well. I think if you're putting your money in, you do it on turn as the aggressor and not guess on the river. If you think you are ahead, fine, go with your reads but I think your play would have been on the turn. I personally don't think it is necessity to push turn though. If you feel villain is tilted, I don't like the push here at all though. He's going to call and what do you have, zip. I like making a small blocking type bets to a tilted player live until I can get a read on what they may do. If the flop bet makes you feel they are Ace high then make another blocking type bet on turn. If player is tilted they have had enough and could go OTT on you at any point, so why waste too much in chips with your nothing.I like trying to put the tilted player over the edge. I do not think this is a hand to do so, you don't have anything. If you feel that they have recovered from a hand then you may make a big bet or push the turn but if tilted, that is a bad move.On his push, I feel the villain has ace-something. You only have aces weak kicker. Fold it.
