Blinds at 100/200 avg stack 7k hero has 11k, mp, button, and Sb limps, hero BB raiss to 800 with KK, SB calls, Q95 flop, SB checks, BB bets 1200, SB calls, turn 7, pot is 4400, SB checks, BB bets 2400, SB calls, river 5, check-check. Before i finished saying check, SB throws out rivered you A5,

    Don't try and get into the head of a live tourney donk. It'll mess you up. I think you need to raise to at least 1100-1200 pre with this many limpers in the hand. Other than that I think you played the hand fine.

    Mdshack.....yeah the standard raise was 500 , felt much more and i fold all hands I beat. Not in his head, I was thinking more about how to play his hand optimally.

    The only way to play A5 optimally there is to fold imo.

    raise more pre, honestly shocked only 1 person called

    how much does he have left behind on the river? Id probably expect him to have Qx a lot and valuebet although it worked out in this case

    hope that helps

    almost all live donks state that they put you on AK when they call with rags. clear head and move on imo

    There's a lot of truth to what ivanov said. He should have folded pre if he perceives you as decent because you obv have a pretty strong range raising from the blinds. I'm fine with your preflop raise sizing if you feel a bigger raise would have folded everyone out. I generally would raise a bit bigger because 800 would get me 3 callers in most live tournies but if you think it gets you 1 caller it's fine. Your flop and turn bet sizing should be 2/3rds to 3/4ths pot. No reason to bet smaller, especailly on the turn.
