Check my line: $1 100 gtd carbon FO

PF played fine IMO. On flop, SB minbets and with Button-1 still to act, a 3x-4x raise (400-600 raise) on flop may not be bad. Based on action after, you may be able to get a good idea of their holdings, and if you get callers or a re-raise, you can re-evaluate. If the turn blanks, you can then shove and get max value against someone that may have a marginal 6 or chasing presto or is holding something like KT+. I'm not particularly a fan of check-call-shove on that kind of board since it's so drawy. I think a raise on the flop would give you a better idea of where you stand, and can effectively raise the pot high enough to where opps are getting good value to call a shove with a marginal holding if they are looking to hit, giving you a good shot at a double or triple-up.

I soul recommend that you all play the PO tourneys on carbon!

I see that I posted my response before I saw the next installment.

I guess that's true about the overcards. My logic was really more that bottom 2 pair is a vulnerable hand so I would want to narrow down the field as much as possible. Whether or not I would completely fold to a mini bet would depend on what information I had on the player. I may call a mini bet on the turn with the intention of folding on the river to any bet. The key is I wouldn't call more then 1-2bb, and I probably wouldn't call if I thought I would be up against more then 1 opponent. I would only call the mini bet if I had put in the 4bb on the flop. If I had just called the flop like you did, I would fold the hand when the 6 came. You don't have much invested and still have a decent stack to play with.

After seeing how you played the flop, you had a very vulnerable hand that you didn't protect. By calling you are 1. Not getting max value out of a lucky hand and 2. Giving your opponent a chance to catch up which is probably very easy for them to do.

I would have raised, and go all in after that

i would recommend a 3 bet here

Raise shove flop and as played fold on the turn because ur 2pair is awful now. Reason why i like shoving flop is that 6x's, overpairs and FD's + gutter hands will call u. Also, u only have 18bbs so raising to an amount like 400-600 will look way too strong.

PF: Call---it's 2-3os!!!
FLP: 4-5x bb shove---call 2-bet.
TRN: Fold.
