first of all, welcome to TPE!
I moved your thread, as the HH reveiw part of the forum is for questions regarding reveiws of full hand histories, and the MTT Strategy part of the forum is for discussing single hands.
Also, please read the sticky on converting hands, as converting your raw HHs make the hand easier to read and will help to generate better discussion. for some reason i’m having trouble using the converter.
as to the hand, i think you’re raising way too big preflop. are you making it 6x with your full range? are you going 6x with hands like AA and JTs? i’d just raise to 3x the BB and go from there.
on the flop you get checkraised allin, and it’s a huge raise. considering how draw-heavy the flop is, you can’t fold and just got unlucky that he hit his flush.
Hey man — welcome!
As for the hand, I think you need to be confident in your post flop play, especially early in the tournament. AK is certainly a strong hand, but we don’t need to make pots so big at this level. A simple 3x to 60 might get an extra caller or two, but those calls are likely to be against hands you dominate. We want people to call with A4ss here and stack off on an ace high flop. BE CONFIDENT!
As for the post-flop, his hand looks very drawy. He could have other kings we dominate, with the only hands we’re really worried about being 77 and KJ. I def just get it in like you did. It’s just unlucky he hit a flush 🙁
Hope you continue to post more hands and gl!
I raised to 120 with the bb at 20 because it is a $13.50 90 man KO and still at first level. I figured a raise a little larger that early in play may help keep most of the table from flatting.
I didn’t feel that he was holding AA but did put him on a flush draw when he instantly jumped all in. I tanked wondering if I should call due to the 2 clubs being on the board and decided to click and hope for the best. Was wondering if folding to the draw that early in the mtt would have been the smarter play long run.
i think wein makes some good points.
you have a REALLY strong hand and shouldn’t be concerned about people flatting. plus, you don’t want people to be able to look at your opening size and be able to narrow your hand range. just go to 3x the BB with any hand you decide to open for a raise.
as for the flop, i’d imagine his range is flush draws, sets, two pair, Kx and QT. against that range you are definitely losing money by bet/folding this flop with AK, and are making money by calling the shove.
