I cashed in a freeroll, and then won a satellite to $55 turbo with 1.5 million prize pool. Coming off of two donkfests had my play tailored to navigating erratic players, and I psyched myself out in the early stages of the tourney. This brought me to the following hand.

pokerstars No-Limit Hold'em, 55 Tournament, 150/300 Blinds 40 Ante (9 handed) - Converted at http://www.handhistoryconverter.com


MP1 (t47,435)
MP2 (t56,770)
MP3 (t53,647)
CO (t45,687)
Hero (Button) (t31,340)
SB (t48,979)
BB (t50,472)
UTG (t47,395)
UTG+1 (t68,275)


Hero's M: 38.69


Preflop: Hero is Button with :kd4:, :ad4:
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to t900, 3 folds, CO calls t900, Hero calls t900, 1 fold, BB raises to t3,300, UTG+1 calls t2,400, CO calls t2,400, Hero calls t2,400


Flop: (t13,710) :5s4:, :7d4:, :ac4: (4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets t6,600, Hero calls t6,600, 2 folds


Turn: (t26,910) :3h4: (2 players)
CO bets t12,900




Having failed to raise appropriately and allowing 4 players cheaply to the flop, it seems to me that Ax, 55, 77 are all strong contenders. Villain is complete unknown, having moved to the table 3 hands prior and not entering a pot. Seems to me that our options are jam or fold.


Which way do you lean, and why?
