3bet preflop to 6-8bb and fold to 4bet. Larger 3bet for more fold eq if you feel uncomfortable playing OOP. If V flats pre, CbetF 5bb any dry Axx, Kxx, Qxx, Jxx, Txx boards should take it down with your range advantage. If the board comes out wet/dynamic you can take a more passive line since it hits V's range more than yours.

You beat most of his range here. If he happens to have a 7 or a monster then that sucks. You had to expect this action from V. Wo any other live reads it's hard to assume more. If you're not calling off on this board vs. V then what are you looking for? 1/3 of your stack is already in, shove it in and hold on for the ride!

UTG rfi is strong, MP 3bet shove is stronger. SB is at best flipping against either villain but likely dominated when going 3ways. Easy fold and shove AI in the next few hands.

1) Yes, small buy-in, multi flights = fire many bullets.
2) No, tournament life is everything. ICM and bubble dynamics dictate plays deep in tourneys.
3) Yes, live reads + gut = fold. I'd reduce variance by pot controlling especially since no antes involved.
4) Too hard to say wo more info but it's a reasonable line. This early in tourney I'd consider c/c all the way down if board bricks and strongly consider fold to AI. Tourney life is everything and much better spots will be found.

inkoso, I don't mean to upset you in anyway. If you took offense to my critique, then I apologize. I am just trying to provide feedback as stated in your post.

You state he had AK on the hand in question so, he had the best hand on every street and his actions in retro are pretty reasonable.

I'm still curious on the turn: What are you repping? Then, why are you betting?

Pre V's RFI utg appears strong. As played on the flop, V's cr polarizes both your hands. TPTK is too strong to fold. The board is dynamic so I'd try to pot control and narrow V's range on future streets. After the flop action, SPR is about 1.2 which warrants AI or not. It would gross, but further aggression by V would make me fold regardless of run out.

I agree with bfarisdev, fold pre. Limp calling with 67s from EP is terrible. I'd like it better if you RFI x2.5bb. As played, your turn action doesn't make sense. His 1/3pot TcBet looks strong and your 3/5pot T3Bet looks fishy. What are you repping? Then, why are you betting? River shove continues a bad story. I'd snap you off with any pair.

You labeled V a fish bc he's splashy. It appears to be a mislabel from your post. Throughout your post you think about taking an aggro line on every street but pre, but pre is where you would have saved your stack or prepped the V for the cooking. Take a look at your actions and your presence before tagging your opponents.

I feel that $12-$15 is the best for a 1/2 or 2/3 game. Like all games at this limit, you'll have ppl calling with an extremely wide range. You have to adjust your game or, in this case, tighten up your pre-flop ranges and play in position more. So, when you get multiple callers your range dominates your opponent's range and will play better post-flop. Keep grinding.
