Well I'm still alive in the MTT.

already ITM but really only won my buyin back... damn 20% payouts.

Started with 1370, down to about 200 now. Decent chip stack.


NOTE: The MP2 had AQ, while the other player had a medium pp.

Yes, It's on stars.

I'm pretty short on chips now though, should be busting soon.

if you were the leader going into the flop, i would definately bet or if you prefer to check, i would definately be re-raising to see where you are. Just like majority posted, if a re-raise or allin was called at flop or even turn i would do some hard thinking and read the player. Leaning towards folding here though.

What is the point of reraising?

I don't understand why it is so mandatory. If you are ahead only 3 outs beat you.

I would probably just bet out though.
