Baffling Step 5 hand

[mistaken]

Hey guys, I just had a hand go down at a step 5 tourney and I'm not sure how it should be played. Thoughts?

I'm as baffled as you are.

I'd probably call assuming that he was tryiing to buy me off of the hand thinking I was weak/tight and throwing out some continuation bet on the turn. If he has AK he has a lot of balls to check/raise the turn. I don't know what I would do on the river if he pushed though.

Pre-Flop- Fine. I play it the same way.
Flop- I think you made a mistake by not betting here. Im leading out aggressivley trying to take this pot everytime. If he plays back I've got some thinking to do ... and if he smooth calls, Id prolly still play the turn aggressivley.
Turn- Given that you checked the flop, your turn bet looks fine. The raise does perplex me, but It looks to me to be a raise by a hand like JT that believes his hand is good. (and that you dont have a K) I call this raise and lead the river.

Why aren't you betting this flop? You showed weakness on the flop so you have no idea if he's trying to force your likely weak hand out or has a hand like a set that he slowplayed on the flop.

Exactly.

If he has a K and knows exactly what you have after you checked behind, he's played it perfectly and you should make a very easy fold here. In other words, if it was me, you should be folding.

Go Prophecy his stats.

Your flop play is AMAZINGLY bad. Looks very much like you're playing with scared money.

As it stands, the turn is read-dependent. I usually fold without a read.
