  1. Could I have gotten out of this cheaper? Was it possible to get the best hand to fold?

    I just got moved to the table not to long before the hand. I put the UTG r on AA or KK and QQbaz on some kind of drawing hand. At this point in the tourney and our deep stacks, I'm more than happy to see the flop.

  2. If you really put Trid on AA or KK... then why not fold on the flop? Also it is never a good idea to try to get someone with AA to fold... not enough people can lay it down.

    I don't think you can honestly put him on that range though. A range of 88+, AQ/AK maybe. Of those hand you are beating only TT/JJ/AK/AQ. TT and JJ are unlikely because he will often throw a larger bet out on the flop to protect his hand. AQ and AK are somewhat unlikely to continuation bet small against 2 opponents too... so I actually like folding on the flop. Also QQbaz called and could be slowplaying a set...although he played his hand about as awful as possible.
