I've been in this situation at least twice now, probably more, I'm wondering for tournament play (with the final table as the only option) if this is the correct and unfortunate outcome.

Knowing the results will mean that all advice here will be results oriented, in other words you will not get the exact answer you need.
Next time leave out the results.

never ever limp in with ak.. wel i wouldnt...

 

[dj11]

Probably the only, and unfortunate outcome. HOWEVER ??? Why did you think it was necessary to shove there? As it turns out mawe would have seen the same turn card as you and very likely decided to slow down a bit, fearing the made str8.

All you had at the time was a pretty pair, with a great kicker, but thats all it was. LOTS OF hands had you beat, and you've probably seen them all played before. At the raise I would be thinking AT more likely than the set. Either have you nailed, and you should know that anyone with a gut shot early in a tourney will be tempted.

 

[theskillzdatklls]

I feel i should have reraised preflop and maybe scared off 55, and maybe just called and stayed short stack if the villain had let me check to the showdown. correct?

 

[Jillychemung]

Def reraise that preflop to 600 or so. That would make the pot 150+75+600 = 825 so that doesn't give anyone behind you odds to call and doesn't give UTG+2 odds to call (600-150=450 to 825). And if anyone shoves over you you will only be dominated by AA and racing the rest.

 

[Bentheman87]

Mawe's raise shows very big strength, he's raising against TWO opponents in a pot that was raised pf. Still I don't think you can get away from AK here. On the flop though you just smooth called the first bet, but I don't think you're hand is quite strong enough to slowplay I would have raised to 1000 chips or shoved. But as played you were correct to shove against Mawe.

 

[Bentheman87]

Preflop I think just calling like you did is fine since the raiser was in second position so he wasn't in steal position.

 

[t1riel]

Remember, A, K is a hand to raise with, not to call.

 

[Inscore77]

Bad pre flop call, should have raised, 5's might have been scared off. You were leaving too much open, so you very well could have been up against AT

 

[wobuffet]

Raise preflop, call the raise on flop (raggedy board, so don't need to price out draws), check/call turn and river if small.

 

[ambripiotta]

bad call ,but your opponent have easy hand...

 

[saint00]

i would definetly agree with a few comments regarding a pre-mature push. You had a great hand and allthough knowing the results hurts my proper opinion, you could have slowed down and not pushed him when he had the best current hand, he could have assumed straight if you were to slow down, wait, check, then all in on the river. But then again i know the results so all i can say is that's poker =) and who's to say he would have backed down at all and you were protecting your hand.

 

[beechleaf]

with the reraise should have signaled that he made 2 pair on the flop and you where behind and chasing the king
