You made the right play, he just got lucky.

It could be argued that you shouldnt have done that because for all you know he has 82 or something like that. But at the end of the day its all about making the right decisions and you made the right decision here.

Its all about the bad luck in this situation. Even if you have good preflop you never know what will come up next...

He just got lucky but with that said in a tournament maybe you should be a little stronger to put many chips in danger specially against players like this i think you could have found a better spot in my opinion.

You should have re-raised him pre flop. Barring that aside, your move on the flop was the correct one statistically speaking.

Was the flop rainbow? Was it one of those 3000 player freeroll donkuments? You got called by an obvious fish calling station. A lot to consider there.

You made a good call I would do the same...

Was my decision bad or wrong?
I played multitable 0,50 USD buy-in, 360 players after 90 minutes there were only 17 ppl left and my position was 13th with 16k chips (smallest stack at table), ante was 400. I was big blind, I got AsAd on hand - it was too good to just fold it so I raised all in and two players called me. Player A had Ah 10s, player B got 4s 5 h. On flop came: 10d Ac 2c 5s 3 h . So I lost and all the guys that folded laughed me and told me that I am jerk/idiot... (play on pokerstars)

I would like to ask you because many of you have more experience than I do - was it clever from me to go all in...?

In my opinion the answer is yes and yes. This is assuming you had enough chips behind to justify folding. As it turns out you were ahead but with that flop it wasn't a sure thing. The villain could have easily had pocket 6's or caught a pair of 8's or 9's which would have put you in a bad spot. Then there is always the chance that if you are ahead he could draw out on you as it happened here. Don't let agro's tilt you...wait for a better spot and chip up at their expense.

All you can do is make the right decision and you did, can't really fault yourself.

But at the same time, since it's a tourney, depending on chip size, how many players left, etc., folding isn't a bad play either. It's a high probability he's gonna have two live cards, so you're still gambling even when you're ahead. If you don't have a lot in the pot, it might be a good time to fold even if you know you're ahead.

sometimes enough is enough with the hyper aggressive aggro raising- you have to play eventually and take a stand- sounds like you made the right play and just didnt get rewarded for it-

need to know more info but if someone is an idiot generally calling with what you think is the better hand (better range of hands overall) and letting him suicide off his stack is generally ideal unless stacks are such that you can get it in pre ahead of his range but if you knew he would call with K high and a draw then i guess sure but dont just shove on someone bc they are wild let his range be as wide as it can be imo

i dont see how the move was good,
for starters, what was effective stack sizes, if you had 50bb+ then you should be re raising if you believe he is full of it, hopefully your in position, or else why would you be in the hand with A 5s
if your stack size was 20BB + and you have position you should be putting him all in pre
as it stands you had the best hand, but if by any chance you didnt then you are relying on your ace to hit
again, if you had over 20BB you can afford to let this go on that flop
if you had less then 10BB then its an okay move if you intended pre flop to go all in regardless of what turns up, this then gives you two ways of winning the hand

so in my oppinion as a MTT player it was a silly move against this type of opponent

The both of them. Why you are going all-in when you don't have any pair. In this situation maybe it was bad luck, but it was also and very wrong move.

With those guys you have to play simple. You should go all in pre-flop or folded pre-flop. With those guys playing that way only will cost you money and the only way to make them calm down is put them in pressure situations and with that hand he would fold, no doubt.

I say bad move and bad luck. He was raising with anything, so garbage board is actually to his advantage.

IF he didn't hit anything on the flop, there is still a 20% chance he will catch something by the river.

If he had a 3 in his hand (which is possible since you can't put him on ANYTHING) he is a 72% favorite to win. If he had a 7 or an 8 (also possible) he is an 83% favorite to win.

Because he is raising with anything and everything, there is a 32.3% chance he flopped a pair or better (with one of his cards).

There was no reason to take that risk. Wait until you have him dominated (Had you caught an A on the flop, you'd have a 97% chance to win), then take his chips.

If you knew that this player plays 100% of their hands, were to go all-in first - this is the main rule of the game against loose aggressor.

I would have waited for a better spot. I think your call of his preflop raise was correct . but I would have wanted to hit some piece of the flop . id feel good even with bottom pair against that type of player.
