£200 MTT
This is a multi day 1 tournament that ultimately had a c£90k pot. We’re playing the last standard Day1 with a turbo to follow. All Day1s play to 15% and a min cash. Each day1 s played as a freezeout.
To the first hand…
We are BB with a 125k at 1/1.5/1.5 blinds.
UTG+1 raises to 3.5k and triggers a succession of flat calls.
I have 99 and consider a squeeze, but opt to just call. Thoughts?
Anyway, as played
Pot - 22.5k
the flop is 10hJdQd and is checked to cut-off who bets 8k which is called by Button
I appear to have just three clean outs since the K completes broadway for anyone with an Ace and the 8d completes the flush.
Call, raise or fold?

I like calling pre. I'd rather squeeze with a suited broadway where we'll have pretty straightforward spots to play our hand aggressively or give up. I think if we squeeze this hand we're going to get flatted by at least someone most of the time and lose.
Postflop I think it's unlikely we get paid if we hit so I'm ok folding. I'd probably raise my 9x dd in this spot.
Yeah, I would flat call and fold the flop.
20k in the pot pre I’m squeezing to 17k.
Not sure if question about flop is a joke…
Whether to squeeze depends in part on how many flat calls there are and how deep everyone else's stacks are.
Flop is just a fold multiway. Can't even be totally sure an 8 is good, and even if you hit it and it is, an A / K / diamond are all really bad for you.
I would squeeze comfortably if we were in the sb but sitting in the bb we can mix it up with a flat and a squeeze. Mostly flatting.
Post has some pretty sick reverseds...
Preflop vs UTG+1 I call unless UTG+1 is a young GTO/Solver type and/or has been raising wide in EP. Raising preflop may also depend on how much of a calling station the BTN is.
On the flop it is a fold because you might not even have 3 outs. UTG+1 can have AK and it would be costly to hit an 8 just to find out.
You can argue a squeeze but I would say just flat and fold flop, not much you can do and no real reason to go busto with 9's.
Not the best hand to 3-bet/fold preflop.
