Absolute Poker No Limit Hold'em Tournament – t100/t200 Blinds + t25 – 5 players
TournamentPokerEdge.com Hand History Converter

BB: BB = 73.3, t14655
UTG: BB = 50.9, t10181
Hero (CO): BB = 101.0, t20209
BTN: BB = 28.0, t5600
SB: BB = 46.1, t9225

Pre Flop: (t425) Hero is CO with A of hearts 8
1 fold, Hero raises to t425, 1 fold, SB calls t325, BB calls t225

My standard raise for all cards in this range. Both players fairly active.

Flop: (t1400) 2 of hearts 9 K of clubs (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t700, SB raises to t6400, BB raises to t14205 all in,

Hero folds, SB calls t2375 all in

Turn: (t19650) 7 of hearts (2 players – 2 are all in)

River: (t19650) 3 of spades (2 players – 2 are all in)

Should I have checked for a free card or try and steal after two checks? Thought if third heart hits I would get no action as other players must be on 2 pair or pair of K's with reasonable kicker, but should/would fold to a potential flush.

Thoughts? I realize on AP it is like playing with play money as payouts are unlikely.

Ttwist – since you play the same tournaments, wouldn't mind your thoughts, btw sorry about busting you out 🙂

C-betting for sure as you did. You are really betting for value here, you want the pot to get bigger for when you get there and you can set up shove stacks later in the hand, maybe not this deep but in general. As it turned out, you got way more action than you anticipated. I am still not folding at this point given you are the chip stack and this is for heaps or for tournament if this is the FT.

Is this the final table or just a 6max and one player down at the moment?
