[Closed] 2$ MTT-Ako

Preflop like i've said in numerous other posts I like to raise 4 times the bb when the blinds are 10/20... so here I would go for 120.

On the flop your bet is a good size to protect from a flush draw and getting value from weaker aces. Now a player calls you.. Since the board is rather drawy he probably has a drawing hand... I wouldn't put him on a set or something trying to slow play you (vs a dry board where set could be likely).

So the 4 hit's the turn... Now any flush draw is complete... but now you have a position on the guy... he checks... You face a trap imo... Here my line would be check... If he has anything else then two hearts this is a scare card for him... and on the other hand if he has two hearts he's hoping you go broke here...

So your line should be checking both for pot control and to induce a bluff on the river... If you check the turn you should call any raise on the river cept maybe reevaluate if the 4th heart hits the river

So on the turn check behind to induce a bluff and call any raise on a river cept if it hits the 4th heart.

with so many players playing loose you need to bet bit more preflop & flop close to pot , once that flush hit then you can only fold or push it & hope

Preflop was ok. On the flop i bet exact pot, that will be 420. On the turn i check behind him.

preflop as mentioned above i would raise a bit higher.
although you got position AK is a hand that works best against one or two opponents.
in the early stages you can raise even a bit higher, because poeple tend to call you with really weak hands, so you get more value and probably you can thin the field to just one opponent.
so raise to 120-180 in this range. On the Button 120-150 will be good enough.
100 is just a little to low.

i think your bet on the flop should be a bit higher too.
in the low stages (and for the low buy in MTTs even more) people try to hit their flush with any odds you are giving to them
so just bet pot against 3 opponents and see what happens. a weaker ace will call you anyway, and a flush has to pay alot, but i dont think you can push both type of hands out anyway. bet pot to maximize your value.
and if your bet pushes them out... fine , this pot is big enough to be a nice prize

your turn bet is completly out of line ! which hand do you think calls your all in bet at this point ?
Ax(h)? probably, but this would be a dumb sucker call :), because with only one card to come, his chancen to complete his flush is really not good enough for the odds you give him
any flush calls. any four calls (although crazy call on the flop) and set 22, set AA, four of a kind 4...
the only hand you can beat is the Ax(h) dumb sucker ♦
so all in is a mistake here.

i think the best play is to check behind the turn.
so you can induce a bluff from weaker aces AND save chips against a flush.

if he a blank hits and he checks again, bet half the pot because there are few players who are capable of checking a completed flush 2 streets.

if a 4th flush cards hits, be rdy to fold, no crazy monkey bets with less then top pair top kicker oop with 4 flush cards on board

Hi all,

Hlynkinn and grummeler are right. Thanks for the analyses ♦.
