Wrong or right decision?

I'd fold also...though I would think he is iso raising. Correct fold you are a 3 to 1 dog.

I am still in tournament but playing with fish...

AQs is a Big hand,,,and it's a freeroll,,,i would of loved to get it in there. There's always another freeroll,,,,

I would have paid, obviously we are seeing the end of the play and not why I say that I would pay, but I think they are good cards and it is a great opportunity to grow my stack, although it is a difficult decision because of the way it is bet, but I think I personally would have bet

But,this is why i don't win many CC freerolls,,,, too loose.If this was a buy-in tourny,i prob would of folded also.

I probably would have folded but it's hard to say without knowing if the people overplayed their hands that much the whole tournament. There were too many players willing to go all in on that hand. If they overplayed previous hands then I might have stayed in that hand.

First hand - the preflop raise is too small for me there - one limp - i go $90 to punish the limper - action folds around - 4bet takes place and its on you - in any other tournament but a freeroll - its a pretty easy fold with AQs - easy to be dominated by AK or chasing down pairs....

That being said and agreeing that it is by theory a correct fold - if it were me - it is a freeroll....the limper 4betting is likely isolated some weak hand in an attempted to win it outright or build a side pot and get lucky - given its a freeroll and the players are generally loose playing a freeroll - given the action behind you already is say its a decent chance that you could have the best hand or at least enough equity to hope for the win....

All that out there in the open - me, personally - i ship it over the top of his bet...if everyone else joins in and goes with us preflop - sure we dont feel great about it....until we spike that winning card and setup for a deep run

They are freerolls, have a little fun, get a little lucky from time to time...there will always be more freerolls.

You need to pay 480 to win 1030 which is about 2:1 pot odds (33.3%). Your opponent limped pre and is now isolating so his range should be something like AX, KJs+ pocket pairs.
Against any pocket pair lower then a Q (JJ- which is the majority of his range, while other possibilities like Ax and Kx you are dominating, and only AK, QQ+ are dominating you), you have around 45% chance of winning. That means mathematically calling is the right move.

If you feel that players behind you are likely to call as well, then you should just shove your hand and try to play against just one opponent. (player in the BB is not as important as his stack is really small).

I think this is a pretty strong fold. You had person in the 6 seat limp before you. You raised to 2 callers before the sb jammed a small stack. Limper re-raises over the jam into lots of action and gets 2 callers behind you. I know it's a free roll so some players might misjudge hand strength but with the limper then all the action after your open 3x I would have expected to see some monster hands the way the hand turned out. I think a smooth call would be weak and in most cases good players would only call you with strong hands. I like the fold but I have lots to learn about the game!

Raise is small, avg stack is above 100bb, make it at least 90. Fold or call is fine, fold because there will be better opportunities against all the fish, call becuase you are playing against fish

I would shove or fold.Not raise the way you did.

The preflop raise was way to small and week to me. As for the fold once you have the 4 bet it is an easy fold to me as well. It should not matter if it is a free roll or not, you should always play to the best of your ability. Yes there are people who don't care and as said there is always another free roll to play but this is not the typical free roll. The card chat ones actually pay out as a regular tournament and not just the top ten of 800 players. Also if you look as these players who are just pushing early on many time are gone early even after a double up or triple up. Most players here are trying to learn and improve there game and this is not a way to improve your game. Go check out the standing over the last year or so and you will see many of the same players constantly up there. They are the best players who will play there best game and not just be pushing any 2. They may take a calculated risk at times but again it is a thought out calculated one. One advantage with this free training games you can play is after a few months you could have enough of a bank roll to plays money games as well. Use the cards chat free rolls to your advantage and let the gamblers gamble. Become a shark.

Considering that this is a free tournament, I would just shove all-in after player 3 went to al-inn and player 6 made a bet after at the beginning he limped !!!

I dont know about this, probably call because it's freroll. But It's not so easy to win against 3 players even with quite a decent hand.

in freerolls with this hand, only in all in.. at the initial stage of course.. Reset is also not a mistake against adequate opponents, but such rarely found in all-in at the beginning of free tournaments. Did notice that at the beginning of the Freeroll, I don't want the hand of AA, because it = 85% on the fact that I fly out of this tournament....

AQ suited, this is quite a good hand, I think that this is the right decision, but judging how they play on Thursdays, this was a bad decision. If you played for money from $ 5 and higher, then your decision would be good enough.

That's the way they play there)) At the beginning of the tournament, the floor of the table is all-in.

Here you had just a coin and I suggest you not to get upset, you made a pretty good fold, against several opponents, the ace-lady is not such a strong hand. There was a time when I fold aces preflop.

Correct solution. After calling preflop raise was that you did not call for a chance, and you would have to fold. But we would have lost to 540 chips instead of 60. The right decision. You need to think about is not how much you have won in one hand, and that it made the right decision.

I guess you were right in your decision

I would make a raise on 5-6 BB in preflop I think but in that situation that you was, I would fold also.

AQ suited is a good hand, but from the way your opponents bet, I would have also fold, I guess it was not an easy decision for you, but it was the right thing to do, even though you won the play, but it's part of the game , this is greatly influenced by your readings and your intuition, this type of plays make you have a better perspective of your opponents and help you improve your game

I think you must always folds here. 2 fishes every times will calling you and you`ve get very low equity.

I figure player 6's call-4bet seemed a bit weak considering the BB's all-in. Player 6 is definitely isolating. You shoving there has the possible benefit of player's 8 and 9 finding a fold. I know we are mean't to be folding there at least 60-70 percent of the time but, this means that at least 30-40 percent of the time we should be calling or raising. Our image is set up for a shove. We were first to raise. Our range may seem a bit wide but, we had the added benefit of a disguised strong hand. My opinion. sorry if I'm wrong.

Totally agree with both of these and with others that said initial raise was too small, it's early in a freeroll, you either win and have a really good stack to do damage with or you lose and haven't wasted too much of your time, especially in the Thursday all member games.

you played correctly This freeroll and monkeys flit on any cards. There is no logic in their actions. The multipots must be avoided.

It's hard to fold a hand like that but sometimes you have to take risks, even so I think it was a good decision for many villains

your decision is correct but your ROL is bad

no man, all in after his raise, you should re-raise him

it's a freeroll in early stage and you want to build some stack to last,

I would of folded also your raise was small that's y you add a lot of limpers nex time when you raise go 3 times the big blind and add and extra blind for every limper in the pod but good fold

Completely agree and if this was Mid tourney or not a freeroll the fold still mathematically would not be the correct play. however that being said its entirely what you want from it. a deep run min cash or top 3 prize Personally I would have shoved there but the fold was also a brave move!!

Good fold! In a multi way pot your chances are quite limited. Against the cards the others were actually holding you had, at best, a 33% chance of coming out on top. Not the kind of odds you want to gamble your stack so early.

Many many involved there is a lot of possibility of better hands for me and fold.

I do not like the very short ROL

All in ATC 😁

Thank you for posting.

Raising with KhJh is fine here unless you run into the same situation as with the AQ. You have a drawing hand in decent position you do not want to be blown off of it by a weak player making a bad raise.
The villains play all Ax for all bets even stacks. So that means preflop KJ is seldom the best hand that is why it is a drawing hand. Villains seldom fold any pair betting out A3 when they hit the 3 for instance. This reduces the power of the raise to take control of the pot.
Seldom do weaker hands than KJ raise behind you so you are not protecting by raising.

Often you can call 1 bet and get the same result as you got betting three bets.
Building a pot just creates more callers and players willing to bet A3 into 5
Also you may have noticed the A3hh that happens a lot because villains have all Ax

Hope this helps

it wasnt good or bad. i would have push all in though

I would have fold as well . To me if there is a lot of players all in raising I don't like my chances if winning, even though my hand strength is good there is just too many scenarios where you can get beat.

AQ nice hand but ussually if its not suited im folding against bigger all-in

I think the hand you had your first raise was not high enough and when he raised I would have put him all in with the hand you had.

You made the right decision. When many players equal your lift, this is already a reason for a nervous one

cant play, wish I could, miss the games, and all of you, thx for not kicking me to the curb, Pat

I'm so shocked I actually got
9 place in the bankroll builder out of 2500

At the beginning of the tournament the stakes were too high. 3bb maximum you did right that fell.

So, I said to myself, "SELF? the things you puts yorself through to play a silly game, to which you missed couple hours work for that you couolda easily tripled doin at WORK... I'm weird
Good day! T.G.I.F.
HOW MANY POSTS IS THIOS

well on the poker it does sound silly to go thru all that. you can just deposit and play whenever it's convenient for you
but it doesn't sound like you love poker

on forums, it does take getting used to. basically, they provide many years of content for
members to learn poker and provide them with freerolls to help start a bankroll.
for that, they ask that you be an active member at no cost to you.
you'll find that after you become an active member and make some good friends it is very easy to continue
because you'll want to post. so many topics besides poker too.

imo its pure jam for the following reasons:
1. suited hand
2.less than 2x starting stake <== so important
3.we should dominate BB player <==like 80% of the time
4.we will make the last two players fold their K high A high.
5.by jaming we are representing AK , by witch low pair hands will consider folding.
6.dead money in the pot

By taking so many things in consideration , i think its wrong play .
you should have gambled here
