This is actually from a buddy of mine, and I've already given him my feedback on the hand. Before I post that, I'm wondering what some others think...

min 3-bet = idiocy. Pure donkerificness. I would pot the flop, and if they wanted to play 4 rollz, sweet.

why? thats an incredibly silly thing to say and not qualify.

---------------------------------

as to the hand you usually have 7 outs to scoop and are getting half here. obv and easy shovel.

I would think it would be fairly obvious why. What are you hoping to accomplish? If you're trying to control the pot, why are you raising? If you're trying to fold A8xx or A5xx, why aren't you potting? You've reopened the action to the flop raiser.. if the better or the raiser 4-bets, are we calling? If we are, why not try to gain control, maybe fold the flop better, and pot this? If we're going to fold to a 4-bet, why did we raise at all? Idiocy.

the only thing you should ever be hoping to accomplish in this hand is getting as many chips into the middle as possible (i think. because its a tournament maybe we would rather have hands we are free rolling against just fold at this point).

I agree with you, we want to get as many chips in there as possible. We'd also like to possibly fold out someone with a better hi right here on the flop, otherwise you're getting your chips in hoping not to be quartered. While I would like to see a pot on that flop after the action, I can see an argument to build the pot by flatting. But to me, pot>>>>>>>>>>>>>>call>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>fold. Minraising doesn't figure in there.

not much to discuss here.. you're not getting away from this hand, especially 3-way. You also are probably (and sadly) never folding out A8 or A5 anyways, so it pretty much plays itself.

Ugly river.

In general I would just lead out for the pot here, but if I was pretty sure I could get in a check raise I don't mind that either, but it would def be for the full amount.
