First hand of mtt, all I know is they are Greek and supernova.

When they open shove for 2x pot they are repping super thin QJdd or Txdd. But why would they take this line when my calling range is going to be super narrow?

Are you calling or folding here?

This is TdXd 90%+ of the time imo. So let it go.

Yes, you are overfolding if you only call flushes but I really doubt a lowstakes reg is exploiting you here.

If villain was a fish, I would call expecting to see some Ax type hands along with random spazzes.

you have to bet way bigger on the turn, close to pot.
if villain have bluffs on the river it should be Kd Xx , and all those combos fold on the turn with 2 players left to act, so i would fold. but really depends on how villain plays

the sizs on turn is fine, river is sick spot, i may call it, what villain think u have there? if he do have flush, pointless to shove at that spot. but still, sick spot

if he do have flush, pointless to shove at that spot. disagree. @ low stakes this is going to get called so often with hands like TT AT AK etc. It looks so bluffy but it is almost always a nutted hand. But I would have such a hard time laying down TT.

Thanks for your opinions.

Andre, why should I have bet close to pot on turn? I feel like if I bet this size almost all of everyone's range is folding here.

I tanked down and called with a few seconds to go in game. I just couldn't see them shoving with the nuts here, as I don't have many flushes in my range. But in reality I don't see him ever open bluff shoving river first hand of MTT for 150bb, and they're never doing this with worse for value. I guess I called as I thought they may have some random spazzes here.

They had KdTd as you guys expected him to have.

Such a strange line for the bb to take.
