Cant lead pot fold tho., prefer c/r.
But as played I call.
At this stage of tourney I dont hate checking in BB pre either. May just shove tho and hope 1 dominated hand calls.
Your pre-flop raise isn't enough. You offer pot odds of nearly 2.5/1 to the first limper and progressively better to each subsequent limper. You give yourself a strong chance of seeing the flop five-handed, which is what happened.
On the flop; leading out for more than 1/3 of our stack is bad, since in normal circumstances nobody will now be able to bluff us with hands we beat and we "can't" fold when better hands shove on us. I say "can't" because that would be the conventional wisdom, but when we think we are well beaten we can fold. Nobody will arrest us for it. It would be a mistake to call if we think we can't ever win and there's a good chance of that here. It's not a fold that will make us look good, but we'll still be in the tournament.
Someone may have a hand like A-5 of hearts which would normally be about a flip v top pair when its a pair and a flush draw, but the set outs (2 aces) are not live. That is about 45% equity v your hand
Add someone with J-9 to the mix who would be on a straight draw. Assuming two of the straight outs aren't live if someone is on a flush draw, they would have 20% equity whilst your AK would be down to 35% with the A-5 of hearts at 44%.
I am struggling to think of a third hand. Possibly a set of 8s could be an option
This would reduce your equity to about 1.5% which is running cards. The second hand would be at 31% and the straight draw at 16%.
If you can think of 3 hands to run against that maintain good equity in the hand then its a fair call, but v multiple opponents your probably struggling there.
Out of interest. What did you do? In 15 seconds of thought I might not be able to fold there
V four lesser hands your equity was the lowest of 4 players after the flop even though 2 were on draws.
The JQ is perhaps not the worst call with the double gutshot draw. The A-10 obviously can't fold. He had 52% equity in the hand. The guy on the flush draw once the other 2 have shoved is getting the right odds to call for his flush draw, although as I showed in the other post its hard to work out your equity v multiple opponents.
