Top 10 of a 4.40 atm with 84 left, Ft of a 5.50 27 man and 3 buyins up at cash 8-)

I just went out in 4th of an 18 man after 3 betting with AK to miss the flop and then getting all in with QQ v AT for him to hit his Ace :evil:

I'm about 70% through the Stellar bonus and my roll's at $27 after grinding the $1 stakes. Can't wait to move up to $3. Just need that breakthrough.

Why bet the turn there, out of interest? Weird fold though :lol:

I don't think it's a bad bet, if he's chasing the flush (which he obv was with the river fold) then you want to make him pay to see cards. Yeah he could have an ace but a lot of the time he doesn't and the turn is good as it makes it even less likely that he hit the flop.

Even less likely that he has two clubs than an ace though. The bet is a good size, to be fair, but I still like to keep the pot smallish in those situations. They show up with a raggy ace more than a flush draw in those spots.

Yeah sometimes they have an ace but I think the main idea is to have control of the pot rather than give control to your opponent.

If you decide instead to check/call the turn then your opponent could make the turn bet 500 and bet again on the river. He doesn't even have to have a hand to do it as your check showed weakness. By betting first you can keep the pot reasonably small, often take it down there and then, and still get away if it is played back at you.

I'm going to post this on behalf of Jamie GR who appears to have forgotten. :shifty:

The situation: You are two hours into a tournament (live or online) and have an average stack. You have only just moved to your current table and have no reads on any of the other players yet. The player to act before you who has a similar stack raises preflop, you look down to see you've been dealt AK, and make a decent sized three-bet. Everyone else gets out of the way and improbably he four-bets you all in.

Do you call?

I would first ask why I'd only been dealt one card.

Your other card is a Snickers wrapper.
