History of this tournament: This is a private tournament just for Romanian players. GGPoker gives you a ticket to a weekly $20 tournament if you deposit $20 into your account. This tournament is played every Sunday Night and has unlimited re-entry, but it is CAP at 5000 players, the GTD used to be $10 000 but since they give away $20 tickets, that GTD prize was always exceeded , so starting this year GGPoker made it $50 000 GTD, even like this the GTD is exceeded, so it's mad value to play this tournament, especially if they give you a ticket....like I do.

The field is full with crazy people who do not know how to play, make crazy plays it's pretty much a lottery but if you play it for free is fun, and the top prize is at least $8000, so is mad value.

I only have history of 90 hands with the UTG and here are his stats: VPIP 27 PFR 12 Limp 18 Cold Call 12 3-bet 0 Post Flop AGG 2.60 Flop C-bet 57 * I do not see this stats on GGPoker platform

How would you play this hand?

A typical GG runout.

Hero folds on this flop action.

Hero has the third best option for a flush runout.
If you would follow the gap concept you would not call the UTG raise with JTs(bottom of your calling range, it is mostly dominated by UTG`s open range), so you would never be in this hand.
Try to memorize UTG opening ranges.
Should look like this for 30 bigs:

11 cards of the same suit on the table...)))

 

[Bhargav]

I would go all in always. can't get any better flop than that.

FOLD

If its a single opponent, you might consider calling.
But two all-ins with big stacks means someone almost always has a better flush.
You could be drawing dead, which is a disaster in a tournament.
Save your stack for a better spot.
