Preflop we see an open-limp from an unknown (most likely a donkey --> most likely not trapping). Another unknown (75/38 stats over 8 hands --> most likely donkey) makes a min-raise (--> definitely donkey). A third unknown with rather solid stats (26/22 over 39 hands) makes an iso-3-bet. Here I go with AKo in the early phase... I am lightyears ahead of UTG1+2 for sure but I am somewhat worried about MP3's range so I decide to flat instead of shoving. I hate 4-betting here to ~400, then missing the flop in 2/3 cases, having invested almost 1/3 of my starting stack... Which preflop line do you think is best here?
We go to the flop 4-way because the button (33/17 over 6 hands) snapcalls behind me... I flop TPTK but of course I am anything but delighted. If the inital preflop aggressor had made a c-bet to ~400 I would have folded otf. However after he checks to me I decide I might have the best hand and decide to bet for protection + thin value.
The donkey have of course tons of combos in their ranges that crush this flop: KQ, KJ, QJ, QQ, JJ, AT, T9 as well as lots of draws...
The nine on the turn gives every ten a straight and I am like "alright, I am outta here..."
Do you think I could have played the hand any better?
