I check at least once a week hands from different tournaments but what happened yesterday made it very early today that I reviewed the tournaments and the hands where I lost to see if I could know my mistake
in yesterday's CC tournament this happened:

a freeroll is simply a very different variety of tournament due to many factors, however I would like your advice on what would have been done differently in this hand and what was my mistake since I couldn't see what I did wrong or it was just bad luck.
Thank U 4 Posting.
I am going street by street as to not influence my decision making.
You raise 4x UTG in a game where you will get called that is fine.
What is your range here? What do the villains give you for a range here?
UTG1 calls- range?
What data are you using to define the range as clearly as possible?
BB calls this could be a wide range. Do you have data to narrow BB range?
Ok now we think about the fact that we are in a villain sandwich.
Will BB bluff Axx boards as a squeeze? Will UTG1 squeeze if we call that lead?
Do you have data that will help here?
What is the number 1 thing we should be thinking about in this spot? Sets both these players could be set mining and sets are the most hidden hands.
We have defined our hand in their minds as AA KK QQ most of the time.
They do not think at advanced levels in this game on average.
Ok now we have a static one pair hand- difficult to improve. Will our V's chase regardless of our bet sizing?
On to the flop
Barf!!!!
How often do we get check raised? How often do we get called by Ax and Kx?
Do our V's ever fold Ax here? How often Kx?
Does UTG1 have bluffs here?
Does UTG1 know we would be checking AA KK AK here?
Do you know what your
equity is vs KdJd AcJd AJ no diamond Ax off suit?
So when you bet this flop why are you building the pot?
If V2 calls and BB V1 check raises as a bluff are you going to call?
How would this bet sizing give us data that would allow us to narrow V ranges?
Is there a different action that would give us more data than the small bet?
Can we check and see what our V's do?
Can we bet big and expect Kx to fold?
BB V1 calls
What range? Will V1 fold some of that range?
What is your plan?
Turn
Q
You bet 100. Why?
You do not even have the best possible hand. J10 is!
KdXd now gets to see the river for 100, so does 5d6d. So does AJ.
BB check raises 4x.
What range?
What do we beat that BB check raises on the turn when we defined our hand preflop as
AA KK QQ ?
You shove.
What hand that we are a head of calls that shove?
BB calls and shows the hand we should have known was the hand BB had as played by the BB to this point.
River
We lose.
This was a barf pot on the flop and we stacked off.
It is ok in tournaments to show down hands. We do not need to battle in barf pots.
I went through this step by step I did not know V had the JT, so when I said we do not have the best hand JT was it was because I was ranging your V.
Hope this helps
