I moved all in here to isolate. Was that the best play I could have made with this hand. I got callers but I wonder had it not been a freeroll if I would have.

This is so standard for freerolls.

In any other game except a freeroll, I am not shoving here with just AK this early in the game. Klown raised 23x the BB and he could be doing that with a lot of hands. It could be junk that you crush or it could be 77-QQ, which puts you at a coinflip at best. Maybe even KK or AA, which is a very bad situation for you. He may or may not have anything, but you're putting your tournament life at risk early on with just A high.

^^^^^^ this.

Level 1 - 10/20 blinds, and 1 player has already quintupled up, another quadrupled. One other has doubled up, and another has added 1K chips to his starting stack. And it's still level 1 with 10/20 blinds. All in with AK should be the easiest play ever here.

Freeroll I dont mind as much, Real game no way should you do this. Everybody loves to play ace-rag in freerolls which I will never understand. Normally just a 3xBB will do it to isolate.

So my original hunch was correct. For freerolls and micros this play ws ok but for anything else no way to do this and get these results.
