Check is fine but I think a donk works great as well. I would have for sure lead the turn bigger than we did, around 75%. As for the river if they are a fish I would shove over, if they are a reg or look like a reg then I call because I don't see them raising with worse other than KT which I don't think any average reg would call PF with.

Think you played this hand well.

There is no point in leading this flop after completing the bb. We dont have a range advantage and also its a flop that the PFR should cb with a very high frequenzy.

Turnbet looks good. We can make it a little bit bigger like Harvie said.

On the river after we get called on the turn. Villians range should be many 8x QQ-66 and maybe some Ahigh. And our range is Tx+ for value and tons of missed draws. So we wont value cut our selfs very often and have a very air heavy range wich leads me to believe we should have made a polarizing bet on the river and bet closer to full pot.

When he raises the river I give hime KK,TT,55,KT and maybe a wierd AK AA or something. Still 55-KK = 9 combos and KT = 9 combos so we will breake even when we shove. If we ad the random wierd hands like AK AA we have a profitable shove on the river.

I think I would still prefer a donk bet assuming it's a micro stakes tournament. I wouldn't expect much bluffing to be going on in a four way pot, and I want to reserve the opportunity to make sure I can get everybody's chips in the pot by the river without making overbets.

The SB can always make a hand which will call three streets but if no money goes in on the flop then it's going to be tough to get most of his stack if he's weak and a calling station.

Pre: Standard.

Flop: I think checking with the intention of check raising here is good for sure. I would expect a decent amount of c-bets on this board.

Turn: When flop checks through I like leading. Sizing here is tricky as I don't expect many Kx to be out there after flop has checked through so I quite like going reasonably small here.

River: Seems fine, I'm not ever folding sets here.
