Overplayed this a fair bit imo.

I would never played this hand like that,check/fold the flop my play ..

 

[hffjd2000]

My play would be defensive here like call, check or fold.

Agree, hero overplayed here. The funny though, the villain also overplayed.

Classic free roll play. Lol

So you would suggest to fold preflop, i mean it is possible but ante is relatively huge 20% of BB and i got reads about the opponents - shouldn't i use my reads? Note that the pot is t6120 dead money and it cost hero to make that call t600.

I get the pre flop call although I would probably fold here. What follows I don't understand at all other than both hero and villain overplayed on every street. Ultimately you put your tournament life on the line with a very marginal hand and got lucky.

With your size stack only fold, in multiway pot 78o not very strong hand...

In postflop when you completed, only check/fold you have nothing and you oop, it makes no sense to bluff in a freeroll is always a bad game.

calling preflop is OK provided that you know how to play speculative hands OOP in a multiway pot and not go crazy with them.

that is a horrible flop for us and we should check fold every time.
