Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 100.5 BB
BTN: 57 BB
SB: 111.5 BB
BB: 100.5 BB
UTG: 98 BB
UTG+1: 40.5 BB
Hero (MP): 40 BB
MP+1: 91.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♦ K♦

fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, CO calls 3 BB, BTN calls 3 BB, SB calls 2.5 BB, fold

Flop: (13 BB, 4 players) 2♦ 8♣ Q♦
SB checks, Hero checks, CO checks, BTN checks

Turn: (13 BB, 4 players) A♥
SB checks, Hero bets 9.5 BB, CO raises to 28 BB, fold, fold, fold

CO wins 31 BB

flop : check i have for 4 vilain out of position and i have no fold equity

turn: i bet for value and the vilain reraise : I think he have a set maybe two pair but i block all double pair whit As. If he have a set i have only 9 outs and i remove 2 outs because of number of vilain therefore i have 7 outs

i decide fold beacause if a call im comited and i have only top pair if i hit a blank on the rivers.

Did i play the turn wrong?

Hi SkillfulAlex,
Do you have Equilab? https://www.pokerstrategy.com/poker-software-tools/equilab-holdem/
It is free software that can help analyse spots like this.

Really tough spot.
If you are deliberately playing a 20BB stack, then shove the turn. At least I think so -- it has been ages since I played short stack strategy.

If you're not playing short stack strategy, be sure to keep your stack topped up to near the max.
It would be horrid to have a monster and only get 40BB for it.

Cheers,
VS

Hi SkillfulAlex,
Yes -- it has been so long since I played either short- or mid-stack that I got confused.
40 BB buy-in is mid-stack.
Short-stack would be 20 BB -- and isn't widely available any more.

And then I made it worse with a typo.

So to make sure I'm not blowing smoke, I re-read the MSS post-flop strategy article
According to that article, you played it perfectly.

Cheers,
VS

Bah!
You are quite correct yet again -- I must be getting old.
I referred once again to the strategy article and found:

If you go strictly by that, then you raise the turn.
Since at that point, you will have > 1/3 your stack in the pot already, you shove.
The actual wording from the article is:

When you want to make a raise, you raise to 3 times of the bet of your opponent.

However in this case, you don't have that much, so it all goes in.

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes!
