73s fold pre. On the flop flop fold again, are you hoping to see AQ there?
73 is not connected enough to limp pre and you are not in late position either.

64o well player (probably fold pre flop, but ill let it pass)

A8o again well played. you dont want to mess against strong ranges oop.

A5s is a tricky one, but probably is best just to fold (looking for comments on this one). On the flop you have pretty clear bomb. you are can take down really decent pot right there and not worry that you are dead too often (against sets mainly). I assume limper can fold even weak pocket pair there (dunno the tendencies of these games). Anyway blow the pot and highfive your friends that you have an opportunity to play in position and fully realize your equity. Though i am not 100% on this.

AQ again we want to play bigger pots with our strong hands against their wide range so raise pre flop.

Good Luck!

1) 73s. Clear fold pre. Just because its suited, and someone limped into the pot, does not mean, you should be playing as well. As played good fold on the flop.

2) 64o. Also fold pre. Yeah you are getting a 50% discount, but what are you even trying to hit with a hand like this OOP and multiway? You flopped a pair, and you can still not continue, so you are really not going to win this very often at all.

3) A8o. Good fold pre. Its very rare, you want to call from SB, and this is certainly not good enough to 3-bet. Its one of the worst aces with no flush or straight potential.

4) A5s. This is a little tricky because of his stack size, and you also have a short stack behind you in the blinds, that can rejam on you. But even so I still prefer to isolate the limper and get it heads up against him or even take down the blinds and antes. Make it 4-5 times the big blind here.

If the short stacker jam on you, you have to call it off, and its not great, but you still have chips left, even you dubble him up, and you have a hand, that almost always have 30+ % equity. If the limper go for the limp-reraise, or if SB 3-bet large, you have to fold, but I dont expect that to happen very often.

Limping behind is clearly also a +EV play though, so its not a mistake like hand number 1. Preflop is also a bit tricky. You could raise this as a bluff, but A high have showdown value, and calling cant be a mistake either. Just unfortunate, that you did not improve on any of your many outs.

5) AQs. I dont understand your limp on BTN. You are certainly deep enough to make a standard raise here and try to take down the blinds, or if you get action play a pot in position. If he jam over a standard raise, this hand is to strong to fold. You gotta call it off and hope to win the flip, which this time unfortunately you did not. But hey thats tournament poker in a nutshell.

I would of folded all but a,5 hearts a,q hearts. I would of folded a,5 after turn maybe flop to expensive for drawing hands. . He seemed aggressive so unless willing to just straight up gamble im gone.

As for a.q hearts. I am a tight aggressive player. No nit tho. I find it better to raise a good bit. Clears out the rift raft with marginal hands at best. I find trapping to usually turn ugly if its not a heads up deal. But you played the tourney and got to the final table so i would say your very lucky or talented. Work on the leaks and im sure you will do fine.:ciao:

congrats on your final table


1) fold pre!! 73s is not a Hand we want to Play and you wasted 10bb here. you can't call the all-in with a gutshot and a Backdoor flush (too lazy to do the math, but it is -EV Pretty sure).
2.) the min bet on the river after the 2x half pot size bet Shows some weakness, so he could bluff here with A high. hard to tell what he had without some stats on him.
3.) good fold. A8o OOP is not a Hand we want to Play with a stack of ~30bb. again hard to tell what he showed without stats. if he is tight, 99+ AK/AQ
4.) raise pre 3-4x. the flop is really nice, you have nut fd, straight draw and any A to improve your Hand. I would reraise to put player1 all-in because our Outs are better than most of his Hands (except 77 33 22 A3 A2 A7). we are also ahead vs any overpair (if he tried to Play them sneaky) except AA.
5.) nice trap, really unlucky with the Outcome. flatting is fine, I think I might raise 3x and call any shove. shoving is also fine.
