So I am sitting in middle position with AKK10 no suits. I have 75,000 or so and raise to 5000 at 900/1600. Table is pretty passive and usually multiple callers. Only one caller out of the BB. Flop comes and it is Q1010 no suits. I lead for 3/4 pot and get called. Turn is a 9 and he bets half pot. I repot him allin (have him covered by about 15,000 chips and he snaps it off. He had Q10xx and I didn't improve. Basically was crippled and out a few hands later.

My thought process was that if he had a 10, then I was in pretty good shape. He was a little less likely to have a str8 than normal because I had KK which helps a bit. Also, if a jack hits, then I have the nut str8 and one of the 3 aces left or two kings gives me a boat. Would you play this hand a little more passive or differently? I really feel like if I never encountered this hand, I was in good shape for a very deep run. Kind of second guessing myself.

IRL your hand is almost never good on that turn in MTTs, flat turn is ok though calling river only if improved.

I'd be worried about QQ a lot after flop call, if villains are passive. What range villain could call preflop and the flop with? AAxx, AKQ, AKJ, KQJ, good 9JK combos, QQxx, T wrap(QT, 9T or 8J always in wrap). Though if villain defends bb with junk hand he could have T hand, but a hand with T has 9 or Q most of the time with your blockers+ his line.

Raise less pre, bet less on the flop. Are you in position or out of position? Positions change every street

I was in position. Paklu, I guess you are right about once that turn hits, but I figured he would have to worry that I have the nuts. I was trying to rep it, knowing I had outs to improve but he had flopped the boat, so obviously he isn't going anywhere. With my redraws, is it a terrible line that I took though if I didn't put him on a boat?
