first of all, dont fold underrepresented TPTK to 1psb shove on the flop, like, ever. Our reads here are not nearly strong enough to even consider a fold in this spot.
preflop, this is one of the rare spots where we like flatting a 3bet oop - with those positions, 4betting would essentially mean turning our very strong hand into a bluff (or a bit of ICM nightmare if we 4bet/call). Flatting will let other with dominated ranges in, plus AK with those stack depths is really easy to play - if you hit the flop, you are essentially never folding (barring some extreme scenarios), and if you miss, you have essentially air multiway
additionally, we are not that far from the bubble, so taking a lower variance line is also benefitial
so, yeah, overall well played
Hi there, thank you for your advice and thought process, and acknowledging so far some of the comments people are making are somewhat negative, not good poker advice especially regarding folding ak tptk after unrepping my hand
I see why you said this is a rare situation to just call pre but i as i crush/dominate all the other ranges and can play/get away from my hand easily and that i kinda did this in the tournament, so keep the pot small, too not risk my tournament life, too play the hand has if i miss can fold etc
But i have many concerns/worries about how i played it and by also your answer not just cause i lost the hand/even if i won it
1) i am playing ak oop which feels weak
2) i am letting other people in cheaply
3) i am not defining my hand in my head
4) the button squeezer could could be squeezing a wide range
5) played the hand as scared to lose as what if squeezer has aakk and to maybe cause i dont want to flip
You agreeing with my play on this ocassion has confused me even more now lol,
As this deep should i not take this spot to 4bet big or 4 bet jam? Considering also the stack to pot ratio, already 54k in middle so i have around 4-1 stack to pot ratio, and to win the tournament a i maybe have risk and maybe gamble here in this spot? And cant play scared or soo cautisly in this spot, i feel a 4 bet fold or jam is better in this spot but cant work out which one, by jamming he can even fold right upto qq in this spot and most likely would fold 99 1010 jj aq all bluffs
I actually have played tournament upto Ł5000/$6000 but thats without really working on my game and all spots but now am trying to learn and improve, as this spot cost me big time and cant workout the best play
I dont now if i have posted in the wrong forum? As this is my first time posting
