This is a pretty straight forward situation. One where different style players could play it different ways. How would you play this hand to this point? And what would you do at this point. It's early a 10 player SnG, not a lot of info on players. There are 10 still left. It is a Carbon Step #2 so you get a mix of all type players.

Should have re-raised, call a shove pre flop from villain, these fun steps get pretty ridiculous. Can't help a bad flop like that...I hope you folded after villain shoved post

Actually he only bet 1/2 the pot on the post flop bet. I'm not really a big fan of shoving with AK pre-flop early in a tourney. I know we're talking about donk steps here but I try to play them as though it were for actual money. I may as well try to learn something from them.

We usually don't include names in our hand histories. It can lead to discourse.

well with play money- reraise allin;)

umm reraise pre still a good thing- usually you're way ahead,
maybe a call on the flop just to see,
hard to say cuz you didnt show stack sizes...
he likely didnt hit the board,
so unless its a pocket pr, you're usually still ahead,
fish dont respect reraises tho,
its not a CC league game- i see the turn...

Sorry about the lack of stack sizes. This was close to the start and the player who won UTG's chips was not in this hand. So we basically had the same stack sizes. I did have to worry pre because the big stack acted after me.

With a 4.5x raise from early position I kinda felt like he had a PP. Maybe AK or better yet, even AQ. In middle position I really didn't want to reraise in part because of others yet to act and in part just in case he had AA or KK. Plus, I had position on him. I also felt his raise would clear out any speculators hoping to limp in low suited connectors and such. When he just bet 1/2 the pot on the flop I called because of the bet size, and the pot odds.

Turn :ks4:
Villian goes all in for 788

I didn't think he had the set on the flop with the 1/2 pot bet and a flush draw on the board, So I'm thinking either he has AA or KK and I'm crushed, or we chop. I I decide to call.

Villian shows :jc4: :jh4:

River :3c4:

Need stack sizes and bet size, but if I have less than like 2x pot behind I just shove. He could be doing this with plenty of draws and some air, plus I have 7 outs (one of which is to the nuts).

It was like the 3rd or 4th hand of a 10 player SnG. There had been one big hand and the double stack was in late position this hand. All others were within a BB of each other.

Right right, but since I don't know the stack structure for this SNG I still don't know exactly how deep we are. If we're still kinda deep I might like do a small raise and try to induce a fold, or peel and see what happens on the next street.

In general, I hate folding to half-pot bets without good reason. It's kind of an exploitable thing to do since you just need people to fold a small % of the time for having an absurd amount of air in your half-pot range to be profitable.
