I did not understand, how should I continue to play in order to stay in the honorable first or second place?[emoji782]
I would tend to agree with Gustav. A with a weak kicker shouldn’t stand up to a re-raise, much less a 2nd one. I would have probably folded assuming that one of the other opponents had a better hand. Since everyone limped, they could have had anything... a completed set, 2 pair, flush draw... and you also had bad position to boot.
I probably would have opened with a pot sized bet (or slightly bigger) just to see where I stood. If I get raised once, I could call... or fold. Getting raised a 2nd time indicated strength and I would not have called an all-in bet. And if someone wants to go all in on a coin flip, I’d fold and take note.
For you, you totally lucked out on the turn and people probably took note of your call. If people know you can’t fold on a top pair with a weak kicker on some raises or re-raises, they would probably adjust their strategy accordingly, and prob why you ended badly.
My 2c anyway.
