Tried one of those Cake poker gold chip tournies, where you buy in with some of your gold chips and it pays out in gold chips in a standard SNG format. I haven't played FR tournies in a while so it was an experience. The play is of course very bad although we were shorthanded for a while.

Anyway:

Cake Poker, Gold Chip Lover (5 Chips)
Seat 5: BTN(3680.00 in chips)
Seat 6: SB(4130.00 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero (4995.00 in chips)
Seat 10: UTG (2195.00 in chips)
SB: posts small blind $100
Hero: posts big blind $200
Dealt to Hero [ :8s :8c ]
UTG: folds
BTN: raises to $400
SB: calls
Hero: calls
*** FLOP *** [ :8h :Th :3c ] (t1200)
SB: checks
Hero: bets $600
BTN: folds
SB: calls
*** TURN *** [ :9h ] (t2400)
SB: checks
Hero: checks
*** RIVER *** [ :4s ] (t2400)
SB: instantly bets $2,400
Hero: thinks, and folds

Thoughts?

If minraising is standard for the button, I would shove this preflop. Anybody else?

As played I can't argue too much with folding the river, though I don't know if I'd be able to do it. To be picky I like 800 on the flop.

Yeah I would have shoved preflop all days.

Depending on villain I might squeeze shove PF.
Flop: I might go for a CR or at least bet more.
River: wow that sucks. I think folding is best but man that's tough.

I don't think I push preflop...

I bet more on the flop, 900 or so.

Rest looks good, fold river and cry.

I agree, I might shove this pre depending on villains. I'd actually shoved a few times in this exact same situation where the guy two to my right would minraise, next guy calls, and I shove with a good ace or 99 or something. I didn't feel too good about doing that this time, but good to know I wasn't crazy for at least thinking about it.

Flop might be a disconnect between cash and tournies. I've found in cash a half pot bet will nearly always be met with a raise from aggro villains and I was hoping the PFR would come along for at least one bet, but that plan failed. obv in hindsight I'd bet more to set up a turn or river push.

River...well, ow. I basically beat 33 or a bluff. Hard to say if I'm good enough often enough here to call. I finally decided to fold mostly because I really liked my position at the table and felt I could probably find a better spot. If he pushed me off the best hand, nh sir.

I ended up winning. :)
