another pretty tough spot...

Preflop play is alright... Personally I'm not a fan of AQo on this stage since it creates a lot of tough post flop situations playing with 75+bb... But you have the button so It ain't bad at all... Prolly a good raise I believe..

So flop comes monochrome in the same cute color as your ace... Now you don't have a made hand against 2 opponents... I will check behind here.. You can get a free card to draw to your flush.. And if the 4th diamond hits the turn your still getting value out of worse flushes from these guys so I don't see the reason to semi-bluff 2 opponents here... I simply check behind to see a free card...

When that dude check/raises you and other guy flat calls for half of his stack I think you need to curse and fold your nuts draw... They just look so strong and well blinds are still low enough to find a less marginal spot.


like the free card like hylkn says, but in this spot i would limp the hand preflop, and play the draw slowly, dont need to rush in the first lvl of the tourney


yea check behind to get a free card is the best you can do here.
no need to semi bluff against two opponents if you can get the turn for free.
i like raiseing preflop with AQ in postion.
these fishes will call and pay you off with Ax hands.

I agree with this. But that said I don't mind your play either, because: they don't check/raise that often, and if we bet the flop we get a free turn.
