Low stakes tourney. Bad call? Low stakes tourney. Bad call?

I have a big stack (largest at table) in the BB with Ac5cAdKc


2 limps, SB completes, I raise 2.5x, 2 call, 1 folds (pot = 1700)

Flop = 3c6d7h

Checks around (Should I be betting this into 2 players??)

Turn = 8s

I check, next player bets 640 into 1700, I call

River = 9s

I check hu, player moves all in for 1900 (into 2900). I call???

Is this an easy fold with a bad low and AA high heads up?

Thanks for the advice

I think you should, absolutely. It's not the worst flop for you. You have the 4th best low and you might be able to push out 2/4 with a bet here. Your biggest worry is that you're playing against A/4/5 which I'm going to guess was the case since you posted this here.

I think on the flop you should feel like you're ahead and bet to shrink the field. If you get two callers, then you might be in bigger trouble. If you get only one, you can re-evaluate on the turn whether A/4/5 is a possibility. At that point I think you have to look at the stack size of the villain to decide if you want to make a stand. You getting scooped is unlikely beyond that specific holding. I don't think I would have folded in your position but that's a tough swallow when A/4/5 shows up.

I would call, don't think your in bad shape both ways. You could be way behind in one direction or another but not simultaneously.

How many chips do you have?

It depends on stack sizes and your position in the MTT but I think your open is not great as everyone has a big chip incentive to call.

If you call here on the river you complete the butchery of this hand.

I think you want to be making the important decision on the flop where we decide to take a stab at the pot or give up. I can not see any logic in check calling on two streets.
