Default £3k live tournament, wtf why do live players confuse me so :(

£3k tournament in london, starting stacks 15k blinds 25/50 hour long levels - a big tournament for england.

So i'd only really played two hands up to now (other than limping/calling raises and missing flops and giving up). The two hand i'd played was raising A8d on button, BB calls and i check behind the Ahi flop, call turn bet and he check folds river. The other hand i raise KK and sb calls, flop comes Axx and we check to river where he folds to a bet.

So i hadn't been aggressive and didn't cbet the two hands i won.

I raise utg at 50/100 with 15k stack to 300 with AQo. UTG+1 is a chinese guy called kenny wong (have no clue if hes a known live uk player or not, but he was talking with some known live players before the tournament and wearing a poker verdict Tshirt so he might be less terrible than most live players). He has played 2 hands so far in 1hr 30, not even completed his SB most of the time he could.

Flop comes As Js 6x and i check call 500.

Turn is a blank, a 3 i think. I check call 1500

River is a red Q, and i check barely looking at the flop, he moves allin for like 12k total. I tank and fold.

Berate me!

God I would never get to the river this way. As played it is a fold, but bet fold is much better imo.

I wouldn't either usually, i get bored live and suffer from FPS. River i obv didn't expect him to shove, and figured he bets most of the hands that call me anyway. So the plan was to check call until he shoved, then i cried

Ken is less terrible than most live players. He's actually not bad.

I agree with Pudge... this was a pretty terrible way to get to the river. As played, this is like the easiest fold ever live, especially with the player described.

because he played it the way he did, why is this such a clear fold? he made it pretty clear he didnt have a set or 2 pair by check/calling both streets. So if wong is observant and not as bad as most live players are, is it not possible for him to shove a wider range than those hands that beat AQ?

kenny wong is known for overshoving pots and making huge bets people just can't call fwiw.

I don't hate the flop check call so much, but i think i wind up leading the turn when i do this.

The river...agh. After your line i kind of want to lead the river as well. I don't think it's the easiest river fold ever since it looks like two hands in his range beat you (JJ/66) but i think only one other hand in his range jams (AJ) and he's prolly a tournament life nit so AJ might not jam so okay, good fold.

jon told me this hand before telling me his hand/posting it here and it might be the alcohol but i really prefer to call and be wrong rather fold and not know

i think i always bet the river although it not being good if you've played the flop and turn like this, which i almost certainly would play like this, i always expect to check/call 3.5k and be good against 44
