I have 7k left if i dont call this, which would leave me very much still alive if i fold...WWYD? Play it differently anywhere before this? No real read on noob obv, its a donkament FFS...

I raise the limper's big stack more with 6 people left to enter the pot. Anywhere from 1000-1200. He isn't going anywhere. I've played this tournament so many times to know that.

On the flop, I'd take one off instead of committing myself where the only hands that fold are the ones I beat for the most part. I don't wanna make the hand easy for an Ace to play if I'm behind. If you check here, your river won't be expensive. Checking carries good implied odds, IMO.

I know maksun, so actually with checking, I'm going for the CRAI. He won't be able to resist betting an Ace high flop 3-way checked to in position. But without a read on him, I still probably check and try to see the turn/river for less chips. If no one has an Ace, the Ace'll freeze 'em. If they do, there's a good chance that all of the money's getting in at some point in this hand with 2400 in the middle on the flop, but a check gets it in on the river. All the money's getting in a lot and all 5 cards'll be seen almost every time you bet here..

If I'm gonna bet, though, 2k's my bet and I'm calling a push.

What a fkd up flop.

meh. i agree with taking a free card. Actually i like almost always check behind on A high flops with KK or whatever...but i also check behind with AK and AQ sometimes too offset it.

As played u gotta call. Most of the time he'll just have a pp with a spade or something...especially in the 10r. Even if he has the ace u obv have 11 outs..gamble ffs.

That flop bet is awful.
