I had a decent run in a turbo MTT last night online but busted out like 53rd out of 580 or so when holding AQo and the board flops 6AA rainbow.
Preflop I'm holding like 11 BB. Button min raises pre and this player had been raising pre flop pretty much every hand for past 20 minutes or so. I can't remember if I 3 bet him or flat called (although I hope I 3 bet as a flat would have been kind of risky). Another player comes along so 3 in hand.
Flop is 6AA rainbow.
Checks around to me. Pot is now equal to my stack so it's really shove/fold here. I have 3 of a kind Aces, Queen kicker. I figure I'm only losing to AK here so I shove.
Other guy folds, button insta shoves and shows 66 for 6s full of Aces.
Turn and River blank and I'm out and left thinking who slow plays 66s full of Aces when you have 2 callers and risk them having you crushed with A6 or drawing with 77-KK or A7+ drawing for any card that can help them complete a higher FH. I could understand if the guy has A6 he's slow playing but come on now. I doubt had I shoved pre the guy would have folded. I considered checking back the flop but then I'm concerned that I have 2 players in the hand and if I don't hit an A or Q on turn I'm looking at being dominated anyways.
So is this a spot where you're going broke late in a tourney?
