This was kinda early in a big MTT (around 7k people)...
I'm not really sure whether post-flop was OK -
Poker Stars Freeroll No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 9 players

UTG: t1480 49.33 BBs
UTG+1: t1430 47.67 BBs
UTG+2: t1585 52.83 BBs
MP1: t1460 48.67 BBs
MP2: t1750 58.33 BBs
CO: t1760 58.67 BBs
Hero (BTN): t1295 43.17 BBs
SB: t1420 47.33 BBs
BB: t1320 44 BBs

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is BTN with A♣ K♠
6 folds, Hero raises to t90, 1 fold, BB calls t60

Flop: (t195) Q♣ 5♥ 7♣ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: (t195) 7♥ (2 players)
BB bets t120, Hero calls t120

River: (t435) K♦ (2 players)
BB bets t390, Hero raises to t780, BB calls t390

Final Pot: t1995 Hero shows A♣ K♠ (two pair, Kings and Sevens) BB shows K♣ Q♥ (two pair, Kings and Queens) BB wins t1995

I think I would Cbet and give up if I meet resistance.
Just fold the turn.
As played you can't raise the river because you will get called by better hands only most of the times.

Thanks for your impression...

After he checked I wanted a free card as I didn't hit and didn't feel like cbetting...
I was thinking really hard about calling on turn - but as he checked the Q before I thought that he either might only hold Ace high or some busted straight draws.
When the King flops he bets a little more than 2/3 of pot. I wasn't too afraid a douple pair as I thought I have the top pair (Ks) and the public pair(7s) and an Ace kicker. Didn't put him on low trash so I suspected that he wouldn't have hit the 7s set.

Of course, any kind of broadway hands are certainly in his range - but oh well :rolleyes:

+1

would bet lot more preflop in these freerolls , with cbet flop to find out where you are but would not bluff turn here & wait to get paid off in this

Your default play should be cbet and give up if you get action.

Checking behind the flop gives him the opportunity to bluff the turn so I think, it is ok to call the turnbet after you check behind.
On the river your only play is a call or valuebet if he checks to you.

If he bluffs, you wont get called anyway when you raise and I dont see too many made hands worse than AK calling your raise.
