    Default Not sure what to make of this hand

    Not much disscusion here at the moment so I thought I'd throw this one in.

    Initially I see a weak raise and try to take the pot pre flop but I suspect I didn't raise enough.

    The flop hits all the right spots for me and even if my opponent as hit a pair I'm ahead.

    When he bet's the flop I again try to take the pot but probally should have shoved. I'm thinking he's hit at least a pair but don't suspect trips from his weak first raise. possible AK A10 even AQ or AJ on a str draw. Maybe a small PP.

    Turn I don't see a problem or should his check have warned me.

    This time I shove

    End of tourney for me.

    No "I should have folded KJ" comments please you have to play a PS ABC does not work there at small stacks too many donks.

    Here's the hand

    MinRaise (or slightly higher than min-raise) is going to be your standard/typical raise size by most of the players who play alot online (live mtt play has moved this direction as well).
    with 26bb's I'd personally never be 3-betting in this spot (we're not deep enough) & yah.. our bet pre isn't big enough.

    Think ahead in the hand (with 'bet-sizing) ie.,.. if we raise & villain calls, how big will the pot be & how much will we have left in our stack (this will help us to size our bets better preflop & on flops so we're not left with awdward stack sizes).

    If we're 40bb's deep I'd consider 3betting the open 'but' it'd be with intentions of 3bet/fold pre to a 4bet (& if villain is calling our 3bet OOP on stacks that size than well.. he's just real bad).

    I think once we're getting lower in stack size we should think about what types of spots we're going to be looking for (ie. with a 26bb stack I'm actually typically tightening up a bit... with 15-20bb's I'm looking to 3bai over LP raises (esp. ones who've been raising often in LP.. stealing blinds). w <15bb in most spots I'll be open-shoving but if open-raising it'll always be with intentions of never folding.
