But they were suited! (T2s in the small-blind against multiple opponents).

Results redacted for the good of discussion.

 

My thought process – Pre-flop
I'm getting nearly 9:1 on a flat-call. I was concerned that the tournament leader in BB could do a squeeze play.
My basic plan was to see a flop and reassess.

Flop –
The flop looks reasonable safe. I find it hard to believe that anyone has A5, because at this point in the Tournament A5 is in
push/fold mode only. My only real concern is an over-pair. I decide to take a stab and give up if I meet resistance. Resistance would mean an overpair, a flat-call would suggest a 5.

Turn –
My thoughts to value. I'm only worried about another 5, if my opponent has 55 or A5 he should have pushed pre-flop.
It is true that at this stake people are not doing push/fold optimally, but if I lose boat on boat, then so be it. I'm not good
enough to hero-fold a full-house.

River –
This is the best possible card for me. It improves my full-house. The only hands that are a threat are A5, 55, or TT. I
would like to think that TT bets into me post-flop. If I check my opponent will check behind if he is beaten and I'll
take down an 11bb pot. I bet 4bb because my opponent has 3.5bb behind. I want it to look like I'm trying to push him off
a hand.

Your reasoning throughout seems to be more focused on your own hand and how you could possibly lose rather than on what your opponents are likely to have or how they will play. There's a fair chance you have the best hand on the flop, but you won't be in good shape if called, so I can't say I love the bet. Checking and giving a limper a chance to bluff (assuming you think they're limping wide enough for that to be worthwhile, that's very player dependent because really limping at all at this stage is pretty bad) may well be better than betting. At the very least I wouldn't bet so large. Turn check is good, but I'd bet a good deal larger on the river, can't see anyone with an overpair folding it at this point.

check flop seems best , what hands are you beating when you bet? once your called otf your equity ain't good at all.

any overpair has you pretty much drawing dead. I doubt they'll be floating Ax here , unless they've got A5s or other 5x combos. I agree that most players would be shoving most Ax when short stacked, though bad players may still limp with it pre and also with hands like k5s, q5s.

 

@ andrew , when v checks back ott, what does the top/bottom of their range look like?

 

I'd say top would be TT-AA 5x

bottom of their range , flush draws which missed perhaps A3s/A4s?
