I have very little experience with MTT play but I scrapped together what info I could before the FreeRoll today.

I believe I made the right play in this case, but I read an article right now on PS here that strongly encourages us to post our hands for evaluation; so I am posting my hand:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 60/120 Blinds (9 handed)

MP2 (t225)
MP3 (t4354)
CO (t11430)
Button (t170)
SB (t2110)
BB (t300)
UTG (t1974)
UTG+1 (t295)
Hero (MP1) (t4130)

Hero's M: 22.94

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, K
2 folds, Hero bets t480, 2 folds, CO raises to t1620, 3 folds, Hero raises to t4130 (All-In), CO calls t2510

Flop: (t8440) 3, 4, 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: (t8440) A (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t8440) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: t8440

Thanks for the assistance!

looks pretty standard for a freeroll

normaly would bet 360 preflop , its enough but his reraise makes you pot commited anyway to just call ,

with AK you want to see 5 cards , chances of hitting flop is 1 in 3 & hitting board is 1 in 2 with 5 cards , would expect AK is above his range + you need to build stack so good chance to double up early in tourney

Thanks for your response! I am just wondering what your reasoning is as to why you would only bet $360?

Ah and thank-you fellow Canuck!

I understand your reasoning, in a typical FreeRoll players are really lose so are more likely to call with something stupid.

This FreeRoll surprised the heck out of me however because everyone was really tight! It's a new Players FreeRoll with a $20,000 prize pool and you can only do it once.

this is pretty standard in those tournaments.
