I think as played its not too bad. If villain is aggro then you might've been c/r here. If you really wanted to know where you were at and put villain on a pretty loose range out of his BB then you could C-Bet this flop for ~T4200 or so. To be honest against a villain with this chip count at this point in the tourney who is pretty aggro I probably just fold PF.

If you're scared of him as an aggro fold pre-flop but once you get to the flop I fon't think you can just give up. Your hand is essentially a bluff so I'm firing as a bluff on the flop or most certainly when he checks again to me on the turn, but probably flop. Shut down if any action but i just think that if you're going to raise pre with A6 then you should be betting any flop checked to you.

This is a good example of way you need a post flop plan before your initial raise. Were you just hoping to hit the flop then see what happens? If you are not prepared to follow through with a continuation bet in this situation because of the opponent, then you are better off folding pre flop.

I'm a notoriously weak nit, but I don't raise here pf with less than A8o. A6o is a hand that's really got nothing going for it - and a lot against it - if you get action.

A flop c-bet of say 4,500 is a matter of taste, I guess.

On the river villian bets 2,000 into a 7.200 pot. Unless your table image is ultra-weak I cant see him doing that with any hand you beat, and I can't see you repping a slowplayed monster after checking that flop and turn.

As played c/f if fine.

Yeah, c-bet flop for sure or dont be in the hand, and I actually consider calling the river bet, because we are ahead anough of the time to make it worthwhile.

If you're worried about the CL, who is in the BB, then don't raise his blind with A6o. I'd fold pf, due to a hatred of unsuited ace rag.

As played pf, c-bet flop for t4,000 or something then shut down.

if you're not willing to c-bet when you miss, fold pre. I really don't like stealing a deep stacks blind with this type of hand. Id rather do it with a 75s for obvious reasons.

Not exactly. There couldn't really be a worse board to c-bet than this one.

I think a strong c-bet after the flop would have won the hand aginst a shorter stack. But with villians huge chip advantage I'm with you, I fold.
