(39) AQ TPTK vs the whole table

[AnthonyV]

I don't raise pf. I like a c/r on the flop because you're almost certain to get someone to lead into you who might not necessarily call a PSB. Then I'd probably lead the turn.

I'm not re-raising pre-flop out of th BB with AQ here.

Once that flop comes I am pot betting it and continuing on the turn. Unless I'm given good reason to slow down.

flop: this is a very weak line. if you check its for the sole purpose of checkraising IMHO. [standard play is half pot bet here, maybe 3/4 pot with so many limpers]
I actually like a checkraise here; early in tourny so many straglers call the flop (as happened). but the raise better be serious, like 300-400(the pot at this point).
turn: more of same! You have to bet this imho. TPTK is too vulnerable imho to play this softly. Too much $ in pot for a checkraise imho. I am assuming you got outdrawn by a straggly duece on the river?
river: refer to above.

You nit. Raise that flop.

I like that you cold called the raise preflop. You're out of position facing an EP raise.

Raise the flop w/ the intention of getting it all in. It sucks that you're against 43 people but that's a very favorable flop. You're basically just worried about 22 & 33 for everyone but the initial raiser, who could have something like AA or KK as well.

I'd definitely raise the pot PF, kick out the limpers and see what sort of hands you're against. Playing it this way is just a good way to throw away chips.

Creating a big pot, out of position, with AQ is a just a good way to throw away chips.

That board is so dry... I don't mind just calling the flop. However, I'm probably leading out for a sizable bet on the turn (like t300). Rainbow 8 is just about the best card in the deck for you and if the CO raises you, you can be pretty sure he has a set and just let it go. If he doesn't, most of the time you are good.

Being oop sucks. Committing huge amounts of chips on the flop against that many opponents (like checkraising 3 people) is just asking for trouble.
