Obvious Fold MTT ?

Doing this off memory cause I dont have the log.
Just played a $3+40 MTT

I was mid/late position 9 handed /w JTd and I came in for x3+1 for every limper which was x4. Blinds were at 15/30. Villain has the Ax - JTo and pocket pairs range imo.

BB called,

Flop:
Raggy unders but all spades (826 or something).
I Lead out 200, he called.
Turn:
Jh.
I lead out 400, he called.
River:
Jc.
I check, he raises to 759.
I think a long time and call.


Should I shut down after the flop call regardless if I hit on turn? Kinda seems like he might have A6 or something and/or 1 card spade draw that he missed.

Nah, its $3 MTT. Players will call down flop and turn with Ace FD all the time. They will normally raise on flop or turn with the made Flush, so when he calls turn, you know you are usually good here. Just bet your hand for value on turn and bet again on river. He may call with A8/A6/A2 lots of PPs. They will never shove these hands on river, on this board.

TRIPS! Bet river hard

i would prolly check turn but not checking the river.

I play this hand all diff I prolly always overlimp with the JT here and if I did for some reason iso I doubt I c-bet cause they just call everything anyway(which is why i dont iso)

I think you butchered this pretty hard, and in addition you seem confused regarding how betting works.

preflop there's not really any point in betting. jts is fine in a multiway pot, you can occasionally double with and just lose 30 chips otherwise.
on the flop cbetting is fine after you bet preflop but I wouldn't have done that so oh well
on the turn you probably have the best hand but I guess about one third of the deck fucks you, betting and checking behind are both decent choices

on the river you've managed to hit runner runner perfection and you suddenly check?

except you can't have checked and he can't have raised because he was the BB and you were mid-late position and thus the only course of action is that he bet. but why on earth would you then consider folding after hitting trips? if anything you should go allin if there were any chips left. and if he had in fact checked, you should also go allin. if you had in fact been first to act, you should go allin (and in the event where you check, it's because you want to trick him into betting his Asxx ksxx hands thus you instantly call, not because you're contemplating folding. )

The guy was very very passive. He would later limp with like AK and even high pocket pairs, and smooth call just like he did here. So I had the right read, but in a bad spot. He ended up having JK of spades lolo

I checked because I had a sinking feeling he was gonna bet or reraise on the river and I didn't like the idea of calling a RR. So I just let him bet, it might've been a smaller bet and I coulda saved money. I think I shoulda checked the flop or turn.
