    Default $11 MTT 2pair on draw heavy board near the bubble

    Villain was a decent player who has not gotten out of line at all.

    Just over 400 people left and 328 get paid. Easy call with top 2?

    I'm not folding but I think you're often not good when you overbet the pot and he still shoves. I hate your overbet, it seems like a scared money play of trying to fold all the flush draws and pair+gutters you dominate that would be happy to give you action if you just made a normal bet of around 4500.

    x2 @ the gross pot over bet.

    Gator: You said villain is never out of line but how out of line is it for him to have JT, 99, QQ, KK? Basically you beat AA or AK as villain never likely has a FD here (maybe FD & SD). I also never think villain will do this with AK per the FD on the board...IMO its either AA or your dominated.

    As played you have to call the reraise AI no matter what your read is/was.

    I would actually bet just under half pot due to flop texture and more than likely check behind on turn for pot control.

    I will look when I get home, but am pretty sure the converter messed up as I would generally not overbet the pot in this situation.

    With only ~20bbs to start, I'd plan on bet/calling or bet flop shove turn. Theres not really a specific turn card that helps villain enough to consider pot controlling. With top 2 you can still be called by plenty worse and have redraws if behind

    idk...it just looks like an AQ of clubs to me... pretty sure i would call...and i play relatively tight post flop..

    not sure why, but I did overbet the flop and will definitely monitor that going forward. Villian had JT and it held up. GG me.
