I think I even discovered some mistake, it was to have bet on the flop higher than the short stack ... I ended up committing him and he caught my bet ...

Bet more preflop. You still have the winning hand on the flop and got unlucky. If you raise more preflop, I don't think they would have stuck around for the flop. It's also a freeroll so who knows if they would have called regardless preflop.

Thank you for your post. In my opinion you need to be more aggressive preflop. You are about 35 big blinds deep. With the two limpers I recommend a raise of 3.5bb+1bb for each limper in the hand. So I would recommend you raise it up to 1425 or 1500 for a simpler amount. You have the best starting hand ever created. So no matter what happens you are in a great position. This raise will either help you take it down preflop or isolate the flop to just one player. Simple changes preflop can make a huge difference. Good luck

thank you very much
because I did 2.25X I also usually play 3.5X plus 1 bb per limper but in other cases ... I was afraid to make a size too big and just steal the blinds, which would probably happen K8s and Q5o had the I think they shouldn't have paid on the flop but do what ... and what size on the flop did you think?
Should I adopt this size pre flop just because it is a freeroll or in general in micro stakes?

Thank you for your post. In my opinion trapping multiple opponents in a tournament is risky because players will aggressively pursue strong draws after the flop. So I prefer the large raise when you are %100 ahead preflop. In this exact hand both players flop well and are fully committed. Aces aren't always a guaranteed winner but with the aggressive preflop raise you can set yourself up for more success. Just taking the blinds is not ideal with aces but it is profitable. Good Luck.

Preflop sizing is way too small. With the two limpers you need to raise it around 4x - 5x OOP. Dont worry about pricing tools out, most freerollers dont fold anyways and lots of limpers still like to limp/call.

When you get raised on the flop just go with your hand. Pretty standard play.

You got it all in good and both opponents drew out on you....not a bad play, just a bad result that you dont need to be focused on. Would you have posted this hand for review if you had won it?

I don't think I would post because it is pretty standard to win with her ... so I would have no doubts. But I really liked it. I'm going to adjust this size pre flop for freeroll. you are right

This one was on the same free the other day everyone in limp knew that someone was going to call with Ax losing and at most would make a flip coin with at least 50/50 chances but gave A5
