Me + 1 please

I knew I would be racing and expected at least one if not more of my outs to be in the hands of my opponents, thinking UTG is potentially on something like AJ +, UTG +2 1010+ and CO maybe KK or AA

So I folded as did the blinds, EP's both called.

Flop  A K K

it went to show down and UTG had 9,9 UTG + 2 JJ and CO QQ.

I discussed the hand with one of my mates at the break who was suprised I didnt at least call the 15xBB raise, hence my reason for posting to get another opinion.

Obv I'm the nit.

Thanks

btw I was critised by my action, but reason for posting is wondering what others on this community think.

I'll explain hand further later.

Small private club tournament, 24 runners, 5K starting chips, 20 min blinds.

Level 1 - 50/25 - several orbits but no major changes, average on table still 5K

UTG ( loose )- raises to 250
UTG +2 ( very tight ) - calls
cutoff ( tight,plays big hands hard but still likes a gamble ) - raises to 750
Hero on button -  

Whats your move and why

just excellent, wp that man.

Once again, thanks for the excellent updates

fold, agree with outragous76 and Blatch, surely he has to have AA or JJ now ?

get what your advising, by allowing the villian to take the lead with the betting on the flop, potentially we will make more chips if AQ is good, I'm still not entirely convinced but do understand the point that is being made.

I'm not entirely convinced because obviously by slow playing we are risking that the villians hand will catch up and also not knowing where we are to another bet but at the same time I do accept completely the point about not putting as many of our chips at risk as only going to get called by better hand.

FWIW my inital suggestion was to raise to 40K and fold if a re-reaise. As played, we must either believe that AQ is good to continue on this flop and if we don't believe its good then the call of the reraise was a bad one.

Interested to see the next step, as this post has certainly got me thinking of what I would do now, and what I really should do if in this position

fair points, totally taken on board.

I have 1 additional point though, please share your thoughts on this.

theres approx 185K in the middle and you have approx 290K behind. By pushing and taking whats in the middle now, you are almost doubling your stack without fear of him catching up should you check and he check behind and be allowed another card on the turn.

sorry 2 points.

Also as played in this scenario, by playing the AQ, what are you looking to hit on the flop if your not going to play now ? If this guy is pretty aggressive I assume that your stack will be put to the test regardless if you bet out here or check and call.

Thanks for quick responses to my previous comments

- allin, you'll be happy to take the 180 odd K, there and then, making you chip leader

I probably choose to push and pass him the decision, if he's got JJ or worse, 22, thats life.

n1, turn AQ into a bluff on AJx.

What do you recommend ? no right or wrong answer is there, just my opinion as played because of the following:

1) potentially he's got a big hand due to the raise, reraise, reraise however its unlikely to be AA, youve got 1 and there's one on the flop, of course its possible but odds against so top pair likely to be good

2) if you check, he's likely to bet at least 3/4 pot which is half your stack, he could do this with KK, QQ, so unlikely you'll call half stack with 1 pair 2nd best kicker, so you could be laying down best hand

3) if you bet potentially 3/4 pot that leaves you with 1/3 stack, what now if reraise all in ?

4) if you push, only going to be called by, AA, JJ, AJ, A2, 22, maybe AK, more times than not your ahead

5) finally, I'm using this board as learning curve and find this situation interesting so I don't mind being totally wrong and looking an idiot currently as long as I pick something up and and take it onboard at the end of it, but thats what I think is the best play at the mo.

as played

two decisions

- check, fold to bet, still got 300K left, plenty of time to grow
- allin, you'll be happy to take the 180 odd K, there and then, making you chip leader

I probably choose to push and pass him the decision, if he's got JJ or worse, 22, thats life.
