In one of the micro stakes tourneys on acr.
20 minutes until late reg finishes and 3 hrs in roughly.

Position 11/100

My stack 65bb
Big stack 79bb
Effective 8bb

Big stack UTG open limps (limps AKo, AJo, AQo, often)
I have AT in the HJ
I don’t 3-bet (out of fear) into the big stack and call.
CO calls (11bb)
SB calls (12bb)
BB folds
Flop
234
Table checks
Turn
5
Small blind bets half pot
UTG folds
I think about how many more sixes are in his range, including A6s.
I fold
CO folds.
I know I could have beaten two pairs, pockets etc.

I think I ruined the pot by calling the limp and not 3 betting even lightly to force out unsuited connectors.

I’ll post the hand at some point when I can get to my laptop.

Limp with AK is always very cool. Some limp with Aa Kk Qq. For this I love tournament poker. It's true. Here you should know not only your hands. You must know your opponents. Some ask why mtt is better than poker cache. For me, mtt is better just because it is less predictable. In cash, people who play worse lose money very quickly and cannot play. In mtt, you never know how many fish are in the tournament and you feel the excitement.

What was your reason for folding? Did u think the small blind had A6

The small blind only had 12bb he could easily of bluffed there

Yeah I put him on having a 6 not A6 although him checking the flop multiway would make sense if he would have had it.
Also a bluff into 3 others with only a half pot raise as the short stack?

I thought my hand cannot improve against 67 78 79 incase the board was to make a straight of its own.
