Level 1 AKs hand (PP 5+1)

#1 08-28-2005, 02:51 PM

Hello..

I just played this hand in PP. I was wondering if it's contents offend anybody's view of good sit'n go playing (on my part). Is the pf raise too big? And what about flop/turn? On turn my thoughts were that my stack was a too small for anything else than push/check. I chose to check in the hope that A/K would fall on the river as I believed the villains already had something of value and there was a chance both of them wouldn't have folded.

I like your line preflop. However, I think your flop play was a pretty bad choice. I would just check behind here, because the pot is way too big for you to try to take it down with a continuation bet against three opponents. I would check/fold all the way down unless I improve.
