On the flop, again I don't think you've bet enough. You did little more than a min-raise and gave him 850 into a 4200 pot or about 5/1, odds he had to take especially as he had you well covered. I would have been overbetting the pot at that point - more afraid of any paint than anything else.
Once you let him see the turn you're pretty well done for. Overall I think your big turn bet came at least 1 street too late, possibly two.
As an aside; Do you play more cash than tournies? In some respects I think you played it more how you would play a cash hand rather than a MTT hand around the bubble.
But what do I know?
I would discribe myself has a Tournement player, however, just lately I have been playing cash quite abit, and been doing very well at it. maybe that explains..
Thanks again for your post..
I probably just shove flop when he leads into me tbh.
Thank you.
BB.
we are risking alot to win a little
So why would you want to make it 5BB in when the same thing can be achieved by a 3BB raise?
You get the same amount of folds but will cost yourself 2 extra BB's every time you get raised.
LOL-Raise has the killer argument. If I'm going to raise 5 bigs then fold to a re-raise, why do it with AT? I may as well do it with 72! Paradoxically, AT is too good a hand to make this play so a 3BB raise may be better in this situation (assuming the decision to play the hand).
If you think consider AT to be a strong hand, then why do you not want action with it? Do you not want callers out of the blinds to play along with worse out of position against us?
Raising 3x also allows you to steal the blinds cheaply, get away cheaply if raised, disguise hand strength.
If you make it 5x to steal with AT, you have to make it 5x with AA too and risk losing all action. On the flip side, it means you can't really steal the blinds cheaply ever if you only raise strong with your big hands and weak with your bluffs.
Besides making it 3x will lure people into playing poor hands out of position against you, which at the end of the day is what you want.
You just don't want them to donk you out, but more often than not they won't. (Or shouldn't!)
