  2. Shove pre-flop and take down the blinds and antes or you have to fold to his pretty much min raise after you bet. Pretty sure in that spot he most likely has at least an ace.
  3. Dont really like shoving pf since you have more than 20 bb , really hate than AA flop 3 handed , very likely on of them as an ace
  4. OP- remove results 1st off.

    Think you have to decide right there if you are being bluffed or not and either fold or 4bet ship on the flop. While villain was the most active at the table, has he been raising flops like that against 2 opponents? that spot really doesnt seem like he shows up with anything you beat too often.
     
  5. bad call on flop, bad call on river
  6. idk if its optimal but i try to keep this pot as small as possible and check the flop.
  7. i think checking the flop/pot control is ok when u have a way bigger stack...but here with ur stack, i think i play every street the same sadly : /

  8. pretty easy flop fold tho
     
  9. hes 3 bettin aq/ak most likely ...so idk, his hand looks like sm pocket pair or some Ajss a10ss hand (obv)...but i would lean toward small pair and prob call river, since hes been active.
    nice run bro
  10. ya but 2 ppl in the pot, seems like a spot to lead flop and fold if anyone flats or reraises.
  11. Seems like a fold as he raised with 2 ppl still left to act. HU seems like a call.

    This seems completely wrong. If villain is doing this with air or worse PP, than he is folding all better hands if we shove. Calling flop raise def seems the most optimal. If he does barrel the turn than shove seems fine as I cant seem him ever folding after that
  12. I think if he is bluffing I think he is betting da turn.
  13. im pretty sure that guy u lost this hand to final tabled...anyways, it's pretty tough to think into two players after you lead that flop that he's gonna be weak...if you think that you have him beat go for it like you did...but ask yourself before every key hand like this, "is this a spot that i want to go out of the tournament", and you may come up with a different answer...cheers
  14. prob c flop, call turn bet, sigh call riv bet or bet if checked to

    Yup.
  17. congrats on your deep run in the mill...this is a really sick spot and I understand the way you played it. One spot that sticks out to me is the turn. You both double checked and this gives me the idea that the villain was exercising some pot control and was still weary of you possibly holding ak or aq after your flop call of his raise. When you checked the river as well, I believe the villain felt as if you had no ace and he was safely able to shove all in with his aj. I have one idea that you can consider. I doubt it is the optimal play but if you are deciding to look him up, it may not be a terrible alternative to the way you played the hand. Instead of checking on the river, you could have possibly shot out a blocker type bet on the river. This allows you to possibly get to a showdown without having to call all-in for your tourney life and could possibly get some value from hands such as qq/jj if you believe this is in your opponent's range. If your opponent raises you on the river then that pretty much seals the deal that he has an ace and you can safely release. In this scenario, he would most likely just call as his turn check indicates that he is aware that you may be holding ak/aq. You would still lose the hand but would still be in the game. I think a 200-250k bet on the river could get this done, leaving you with about 500-600k.

  18. i would bet flop just because its better than checking and its gonna make the hand easier than just c/c and stuff...but after he raises flop seems like pretty easy fold...no random bluffs 3way pots on these boards ever
  19. C bet flop fold agree with 99nvr
  20. Yeah I mean def a kind of tough spot for me.
    I just felt that my lead on the flop was so weak it was so easy for any somewhat capable player to come over the top.
    I put him on either air or like a medium pair.

    When he checked the turn instead of beting like 200k that helped confirm my theory.

    Then i check the river again i clearly don't have an ace.
    So when he shoves pretty much knowing I don't have an ace it doesn't look in my mind like him trying to get value from an ace.
    More like turning a decent pair into a bluff.

    I went with my guy, and I was wrong.

    sighh.

    i really cant blame u for the way u played the hadn, it really looks like he is trying to get u to fold a better pp and there are few combinations of A´s
