I would have shoved the flop. Give the heat.

Jam it preflop imo.As played, i would really like to see you bet a whole lot more than 2.7k on the flop, more like 3.7 imo. That bet pretty much tells your opponent that you're committing to this hand, and they will usually either fold or put you all in, both possibilities are not terrible.

Yeah the problem with this is that alot of people would immediatly interpret this as an AK and as a result will call very light. If we bet out the pot then its generally alot harder for opponents to come over the top or just flat call, meaning their range for calling you here is gonna tighten up significantly.

Raise wayyyyy more PF. Like 2000. That makes for an EZ flop shove.

The combination of fold equity when you shove and the fact that you might have 15 live outs makes shoving the flop the best play in this type of situation. That said, I would have raised bigger PF so the flop shove isn't such a ridiculous overbet.As played I simply make a larger flop bet, like close to pot, to increase the chances that I can get it all in on the flop. In this spot you want to avoid getting called and having to face an awkward decision on the turn.

This also.Considering the stakes, I'm going to put the villain on JT here, or an oddball A6 (in which case you probably won it on the turn).

Why would we raise 5x the BB? I know it makes a flop shove easier, but aren't we suppose to be 2.5x-3.5x raising preflop this late in a tournament? I mean, I raise this amount whether I'm stealing blinds or have a premium hand and I'm supposed to keep my raises the same to not give away strength/weakness so this confuses me a little.

There are limpers involved. For every limper, it is a usual rule of thumb that we add a BB to the raise size, even tho i usually 3x against 1 limper.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I feel dumb now.
