$109 NLHE MTT: $100 + $9 NLHE MTT: How would you have played this AKo differently?
Hi guys, At the weekend I managed to freeroll into the $50,000 Sunday challenge on 888. I had been playing for about an hour with only a couple of hands worth playing (neither of which I took the pot)
The table had been playing quite conservatively up to this point when I was dealt
Below is a description of how the hand went down up to the flop. I would like to know how you would have played this hand, as I don't think I played it very well from the beginning. Later I will post the rest to say how it ended.
#Game No : 966042143 ***** 888poker Hand History for Game 966042143 ***** $40/$80 Blinds No Limit Holdem - *** 11 02 2018 20:27:53 Tournament #117050408 $100 + $9 - Table #8 8 Max (real money) Seat 1 is the button Total number of players : 8 Seat 1: ( $7,834 ) Seat 2: ( $1,462 ) Seat 3: ( $3,198 ) Seat 5: ( $4,255 ) Seat 6: ( $5,934 ) Seat 7: ( $10,735 ) Seat 8: Hero ( $5,053 ) Seat 10: Villain ( $6,567 ) S5: posts ante [$8] S7: posts ante [$8] S3: posts ante [$8] S6: posts ante [$8] Hero posts ante [$8] Villain posts ante [$8] Villain posts ante [$8] S2: posts ante [$8] S2: posts small blind [$40] S3: posts big blind [$80] ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Hero [ Kc, Ah ] S5: calls [$80] S6: calls [$80] S7: folds Hero calls [$80] Villain raises [$480] S1: folds S2: folds S3: calls [$400] S5: calls [$400] S6: folds Hero calls [$400] ** Dealing flop ** [ 2c, Kh, 8c ] S3: checks S5: checks Hero checks Villain bets [$1,075] S3: folds S5: folds
As you can see other than the villain no-one has shown any aggression and after his post-flop bet everyone else has folded. The action is on me with top pair/top kicker......What would you have done differently up to this point or what would you do now from this point onwards? I am really trying to get better at poker so your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Sparky.
