Deepstack turn and river decision. Manage pot size or jam it in?
To put him on AA, KK or AK is way to narrow. He know's you flat called pre-flop and is probably not putting you on A8+ or K10+. So it's standard to Cbet the flop but when he flats your reraise you might have to rethink. In saying that I think he made his hand even easier to read by check the turn, it's either the nuts or a pp 8-Q. By checking behind you can call any attempt from him to represent the ace or king and if he checks you can go for a value bet if he has the ace or king.

standard shove with a10s?
It depends on the player. If you can get him to fold more then not then it's a good play. It does look weak IMO...if you had AA or KK would you shove too' or just re-raise small' or just flat' Depending on your history, his history and your read you can make a decent decision if he'll believe your shove.

shove or fold from sb?
So you shoved in the SB with 11BBs to the BB who effectively has the same stack as you. The hand completely depends on your previous history with the player and 1.) your inclination if he's trying to just move up the money ladder 2.) If he has a history of being a good solid player and is capable of understanding what he is ahead of due to your image at the table.

33 on the button with 10 bb
Seeing that it's a $5 tournament....he could be doing this raise as a steal attempt and might even fold to your shove. I'm shoving more times then not. You'll get him to fold enough and be flipping or ahead of A2,A3 enough to be profitable IMO. Tough spot though.

How to play AK early on when 3-betted?
How would you guys play AK early on in a tournament (1-4 blind levels) when you initially raise 2.5 - 3bb in middle position and get someone 3 betting in late position coming over the top for about 10-11bb. This is with limited information on your opponent. General thoughts' Depending on the buy-in of the tournament, AK is played best pre-flop in the early stages. You raised in MP with AK and got 3bet. You need to 4bet him. If he 5bets you I'm inclined to just 6bet shove. In saying that....it really depends on first the buy-in and exact stack size and levels. When your posting try to include ...

raise/calling good draws
So you reraised pre-flop with AK ok...and he decided to call OOP with KJs. You C-bet the flop...ok....but when he reraises you decided to 4bet shove. I mean he definitely was a little out of line calling a preflop raise but his post flop isn't TERRIBLE. I guess he could call but in this case his line was super aggressive and instead going for the reraise with the intent of calling a shove. Maybe he had you on a mid PP 7s-10s'

TT in the warmup
Huh' What do you NEVER folding. I've seen a fold here before from players. Believe it or not most players in the warmup don't know anything about stack size and if they feel they're beat they'll fold.

Am I missing something' I don't see this as a hard fold....you have 4 players left to act and 40BBs....if you call and lose your down to less then 20BBs.

You bet the river, so your stuck ...

TT in the warmup
So you have about 17BBs preflop. Unless you want to be the nit folding here is not an option. He might even fold if you shove'!'! Even if he calls your going to be a coin flip most of the time, dominating his smaller PP some of the time and dominated yourself not much of the time. At 25BB's you COULD fold....Not at 17BBs.

Some shove or fold spots on final table bubble
First hand, You have 10 BB's....easy fold. You'll end up with a better hand in the BB for sure. People at this stage are going to know your shove wide. Second Hand, shove everytime. If you notice who the Blinds are they are the two table leaders who are at 450k each. They are effectively 30 BBs deep and if they call your shove it's going to be a good portion of their stack. A shove here is highly profitable. Third Hand, is a fold everytime. The BB is at 10BBs and is probably calling Jx+.

AA facing Turn shove in 3bet pot
Preflop: Villain raises to 300. I 3bet to 850 w AcAh. It folds around, and he flats. Flop: [Tc8c2d] He checks. I cbet 1100. He calls. Turn: [Tc8c2d][7d] He checks. I bet 2400. He shoves. What do we do' Call or Fold' I'll wait for a few replies before giving my range that I had him on as well as the results. Feel free to critique my line up to this point as well. Thanks in advance for helpful replies. I prefer to flat AA to an early position raise early in a tournament. A lot of player will try a squeeze play and they'll never put you on a monster . You can sometimes get they're full stack ...

What to do in this situation
Seeing that you haven't established a scenario it's very difficult to nail down options. In saying that, if you have zero information on the villains then you could lead out, hope you take it down. If you get 3bet you COULD fold but I think if you decided to lead out a 4bet is in line with your action. Obviously you can't 4bet for your tournament if you have zero reads on villains but it's a decent play early. The second option which I like a little more is to check to the late position raise and 3 bet him, if he calls you just hope to check it down to a showdown. I think a large amount of ...

Big Fold AK tptk on flop
I misread the hand. I thought the BB checked, the utg bet, he raised and the BB shoved. In this case since the utg bet and you raised and were called by the BB and shoved on by the utg. You need to call this off.

Big Fold AK tptk on flop
Don't like the flat with AK for precisely the way the hand worked out. AK is played best pre-flop and against 1 other opponent. In saying that what hand are you assigning the BB' If it's a small PP then you might have to let it go. Although the flush draw on board might get the guy to shove a draw. I'd let it go at this point, not worth ruining your chances at winning this tournament. You still have about 100BBs. Just remember AK plays better vs. one opponent and pre-flop.

Preflop - Raising vs. Flatting AA
Generally you'll see flats with big pp's when your an early position raises and you to are in early position. In that case you'd like for someone to 3 bet you both where then you can jam and they'll never give you credit. Or you can flat an early position raiser from late position for deception.
