Default Flopped boat question

10 person tournament, 30$ entry. pay top 3. 7 people left

TomGer T1708 (SB)
Bigsy T3007 BB
Hero T1790
Herbie34 T2073
frogbros T748
Button T601

Blinds 25/50

Dealt 22 UTG. I called the BB, frogbros called the BB, SB completed and BB checked.

Pot is T200
Flop AA2

So you've flopped a full house but its the low end. Reads - TomGer and BigSy have both shown they'd play any A. There wasn't a pre-flop raise so you're probably not against AK, AQ, or AA-JJ.

Let me know how you'd play it and I"ll tell you how I played it out.

I don't usually slowplay unless I have the board locked or almost locked. This qualifies as almost locked. I check the first time and pray that some weird anomoly of a board (AA2JJ or AA27A) comes. You can bet on the turn or whenever they bet, although don't scare them off.
If you get the money in and his A-x makes a bigger boat then God hates you and it's time to reevaluate your life, but not your play [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You want to get an ace to play here. I'd lead at this pot and hope to get raised. If you're just called, I'd lead again on the turn unless another ace fell.

Only my opinion,

Zephyr

Two strategies, check-raise or bet. How aggressive are these guys? Are they going to scare each other off with a bet and then a raise which you have to call?

Default Results

After the flop:
SB checked
BB folded (guess he figured he hand no chance and didn't want to even fold after the first raise)
Hero checked
Frogbros bet T200
SB called
I called

Turn J
SB checked
Hero checked
Frogbros bet T100
SB raised to T200
Hero re-raised all-in
Frogbros folds
SB calls

River 7

Hero shows 22 full house 2's over A's
SB shows AT

Hero wins and goes on to win the tournament.
