I called the preflop raise to defend blinds considering it was only min raise.
I then called the flop bet because of 4:1 Pot odds I believe.
but I did not consider my stack size, if it would have been a total blank I would have like 5 BB ( I think that was a mistake) and probably would have to commit to the hand anyways
The turn gave me a little more outs with the flush draw and I went all in because of the reason explained above

Should I have folded on the flop?

Thanks!

Your chances to hit a streight on the turn were 1/6, while you paid 480 for a pot of aprox. 1500. But on the other hand with an all in coming you've got a total 1300 for 3775, which is pretty much 1/3 and with another draw card on the river it's kind of coin flip, maybe the chances are quite bigger for your opponent with AA, because of a possible flush. When you comited 1/5 of your stack on the flop it's not so easy to fold with such a draw.

Once you reach that flop you cannot fold should just stick it in on flop.

Should not be limping this hand preflop with your stack size of 10 BB. If you want to play this hand you need to just open shove preflop. Open shoving is not a bad play with this hand and stack size especially since you are playing five handed essentially.

89s is good enough to shove with 10 BB vs a limp and a cut off min raise. Then, shove flop even after the opponent raise. You're never folding with only 820 behind, so might as well try to fold out some weak A's or weaker pocket pairs. Folding the flop would be terrible, you got an open ended draw, how much better of a flop were you hoping for when you called pre? You committed, you have to go with it now.

I think your opponent played horribly allowing you and one other player to see the flop cheaply, and then also making a low bet on the flop.

Thank you very much :)

Yes I think I called and then was like "I should gone all in on flop considering the stack"

Thank you, I'll try and remember that for next plays :)

Thank you, I guess I partially think it through and that is why I posted the hand to help me when ever I am in the same spot, thank you

I think I saw 2 or 3 times players min raising with pocket Aces and then suffering from 3-5 callers post flop

freerolls usually have a lot of players opening wide enough, especially if it's cheap. You need to make larger bets if you do not want to be with aces in front of five or six players. Someone from them will probably guess the board. :mad:

I guess its ok to go allin, but maybe you should had shoved on the flop, many AK, AQ, AJ will fold it

Thank you for the feedback, I guess I should have thought it better before calling as to what was going to happen on flop considering my stack

You got to think about your stack and the range your oponnent probably play. Maybe the right play was to fold preflop, or on the flop, but that issue its the player and only the player that has that feeling on the moment, thinking about how the villains has been playing since you arrived the table.
