Yup, no problem, I've moved it.
PS - what is our starting hand?
Helps know where you are.
I'm 3 betting here.
If I flat, the Blinds are getting a good price to call, & we are going 4 way to a flop. Although I have position, I don't really want to play this 4 way.
I assume the Blinds will both fold now, & the opener will flat me. (If he 4 bets I'm folding).
If he checks the flop, I'm betting about one third of pot, irrespective if I hit or not.
If he bets the flop, I'm done with the hand, unless of course I hit the flop very hard. (I think I'd prefer a Q high flop to an A high flop).
That's the plan, anyway, but the plan is always dynamic & may change depending how things progress.
Always have a plan, always be prepared to go to Plan B, C or D.
I should add that I'm totally poo at NLH.
Raising has some advantages too, for instance we can call a 4-bet shove from the blinds or even the open raiser however we don't need to potentially risk our stack this early in a tourney.
the solver says to call here mixed but more on the side of calling. so @stokefc well done
My default by the way would be call, miss the flop, fold, move on.
