Party Tournament Hand

[preiserone]

Forgot to get the hand history emailed to me so I'm doing this by hand.

Everyone involved in the pot have about average stacks, around 1500-2000, seat 3 has completed about half the bring-ins in the tournament so he has a huge range of hands, he turns passive against aggression. Everyone else in the hand pretty loose passive.

7stud high tournament, ante/bring-in 10/20 or 15/25 (i can't remember exactly) , limits 50/100

Aces look pretty good, could be against jacks up or something like that but I have a ton of outs if he does have me beat.

I don't know if the bet here is right...


Any suggestions?

I think in a tournament I might just flat-call on third. Raising is fine, though. I like the raise on fourth. The bets on fifth and sixth are good. On fifth, you give them a chance to fold, and when you hit the Ace, I think it's pretty likely that you have the best hand. I like the bet on the river, although I might check and hope to pick off a bluff, especially in a tournament.

This was the $40+4 stud tourney on party poker, forgot to mention that, it doesn't really have much impact, they still play like its a freeroll up to the $100 tournaments from my experience

It turns out the guy had a couple diamonds under and backed into 8's and 2's on the river...that made 0 sense to me, but I was crippled and went out with A2A in the next level.
