I dont like checking the ace.
Than again any kind of turn bet commits you.
LOL @ the river action. Min bet/Min raise.

I play it the same against unknowns. No need to try anything fancy when the Ace falls especially with two guys calling your flop bet.

Edit: btw, do you always bet the pot? With a wet board like this and three-way it's good.

250 on the flop looks good.

After 2 calls on the flop, I like the c/f on the turn but would not be very suprised to see you're against weaker hands.

Its not so much that youre necessarily losing here, its more that its early in the tournament and you dont really want to commit much of your stack, and there arent really that many safe cards that can come on the river even if you are ahead right now.

I like the cautious play in this spot.

I like the idea of a smaller flop bet. 200-250. It will produce the same result against these donks [any read on them?] And then I make the same bet on the turn. Proceed with caution on the river. But you seem to be ahead.

More eye hurting advice. You can go like 310, but 200 or 250 is outrageous. Build the pot/kill the draws.

I might c/r turn vs a bet/fold but it looks fine.
