Hi,

Just to get it out of the way - I won the $109 main even ticket in the SCOOP Chip Accumulator freeroll. I haven't gone crazy and haven't started playing $109 tournaments off $300 bankroll

To the hand:
Flop - I pretty much check/give up against two opponents. Big blind can have close to any 2, but I expect small blind to have plenty of broadways, so they have a lot of kings and queens, and if they do have one, I don't see them folding it
Turn - I think the Ace hits my range much better than what the blinds have, so once it checks through to me again, I start thinking that perhaps now I can bluff them off better pocket pairs, and maybe even off K or Q. However, I don't think K or Q would fold to a single barrel, so expect to have to fire twice if I go for it. Is this reasonable, or should I continue my line of not putting more chips in the pot
River - I bet again because I pretty much expected to have to 2-barrel vs K/Q hands. But maybe 2nd ace is such bad card to continue with the bluff that I should go back to giving up?

What do you guys think? No stats as free version of Hand2Note doesn't work above $10 buy-in

Thanks!

The only way to win this hand I think is to Cbet the flop. Otherwise I would just give up.
The ace could hit your villains ranges as well on the turn and if 1 of them called the blank ace on the river isn't helping you to try to bluff again.

Cheers,

Hi.

I like the bet/fold on the flop, the card are in your range too, you are in posicion and you can buy the turn and river to hit a 4.

I guess check back flop is good play, we have almost no fold eq, SB range hits this flop super hard + we have to still remember about BB, Turn is scary card for their QJ T9 etc and we are on bottom of our range so imo its good bleff especially that no one of them lead (that removes most likely their 2pairs,str8s combos). On the River after Sb called us i puth him on the range T9ss 98ss J9ss, KJs KTs might even fold turn , so we left with AJ ATs ATo??, I think normal guy wont fold AJ AT to the 2/3pot so i would either give up, or try to overbet and fold his entire range coz we can still rep A9s AQ + we have almost none bluffs in ours perceives range

Thanks for all the comments!

@red55 - your analysis mirrors my thoughts during the hand pretty closely, so that's a good sign :f_cool: I feel I made defensible decisions on flop and turn, then railroaded into the thought that I would have to 2-barrel to get them off a K, and didn't think whether the river card should change my play

Also, I did briefly consider overbetting, but thought I wouldn't get them off an A whatever I bet, and if I was still trying to get them off K or Q, a 2/3 pot bet would better represent me having an A myself

Mate, being unlucky is part of poker. I busted the tournament after this hand by losing a flip, AK < 99. I lost more chips in that hand than in this one. But it's not interesting to talk about. Whereas in this hand I made decisions that mattered, and it is worthwhile to discuss whether I could've made better ones
