Payout top ten get a prize worth $10,000.
11-30 get a prize worth $5000
To me the secondary prize is almost as valuable is the first prize.
40 people left. my stack is about 40,000. I am about 12th. ave is around 25,000. I could most likely fold my way into a secondary prize.
blinds 1200/2400 antes 25
MP who is the chip leader with 80,000 raises to 7200.(no read as he has just been transfered in)
All fold to me in the BB AKs. I Call
pot around 15,000
FLOP is A95 rainbow. 1 of my suit.
I bet 7000. he folds.
was this awful considering the circumstances?
under a normal prize structure how should this have been played?

Why not just push the flop? Since second place is so valuable to you, and calling preflop still leaves you with an above average stack if you check-fold the flop, then it makes your decision simple.
A better question would be this... if the flop had come down AJT with 2 of a suit (not yours), how would you have played it?
