    *** TURN *** [Kc 4d Ac] [Ts]

    On the flop i was certain i was ahead, a set of fours would most likely push given the action and the flush draw. On the turn i have no idea what to do. Do i check and allow someone with a weaker two pair to push me off or allow a club draw a free card? Or do i bet and call any push or straight push and hope nobody hit the straight? Is there any way you bet out and fold to a push on the turn?

    Yeah, I'm not getting away from this one either. Go ahead and bet, and while you're hoping no one has QJ or 44, hope no one has AA or KK too.

    Highly unlikely, but there's no accounting for really bad play sometimes. How'd it turn out?

    shove, you could be beat by 44 or QJ, but its not like you're going to avoid getting your chips in anyhow (AA, KK, and TT are pretty unlikely), and even then, you've got 4 prayers in the deck on the river

    on the flop though, you can be positive one of these jackasses will bet at this flop...there's a good chance theres an Ax out there, so maybe a check-raise shove is possible. they won't fold an ace, especially if they called so loosely preflop. they probaby won't fold a flush draw either. but i probably would have thrown out the big bet like you did, though. hard to imagine everyone would call like that. just an alternative play possibility on the flop

    i would have bet bigger preflop, though, 150+. w/ ak out of position, this early in the tourney against 3 limpers and the BB.
