I should know better.. and I do. But sometimes you take a chance because you are folding soooo much.
1 table SnG, one player out.
50/100 (Limit) -- Seat 9 is the button
Seat 1: shep0987 (1095)
Seat 2: worthy777 (615) Not terrible, but have not taken a hand YET.
Seat 3: ScottyMU (1030)
Seat 4: fiskers712 (735)
Seat 5: TSully420 (570)
Seat 6: CadillacManC (1760)
Seat 7: softdraw2 (760)
Seat 9: nicks054 (475)
Seat 10: boo10111 (960)
boo10111 posts small blind (25)

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to worthy777 [ Jh, Ts ]
worthy777 calls (50) Dangerous risk to assume I’ll get 4 callers and no raise from UTG. But I did it, so there. Figured I’d do it for deception value. But that argument does not hold water unless I raised. If I made a mistake in this hand, it was right here. You don’t want to play a drawing hand out of position in NL when your at a final table (or single table SnG).

worthy777 raises (100) to 200 Are you sure I did not flop something better than TPTK?
boo10111 calls (50) ok, lets see the turn then.
$850 pot
** Dealing Turn ** : [ 4h ] ROCK.
boo10111 bets (100) I am not afraid
worthy777 calls (100) I am calling on odds only. (9.5 to 1)
** Dealing River ** : [ Qc ] Two pair, not bad. Beats TPTK.
boo10111 bets (100)
worthy777 calls (100) again, call the single river bet in limit.
** Summary **
Main Pot: 1250
Board: [ Qd Kh Jd 4h Qc ]
shep0987 balance 945, lost 150 (folded)
worthy777 balance 115, lost 500 [ Jh Ts ] [ two pairs, queens and jacks -- Kh,Qd,Qc,Jh,Jd ]
boo10111 balance 1710, bet 500, collected 1250, net +750 [ Ac Ad ] [ two pairs, aces and queens -- Ac,Ad,Kh,Qd,Qc ]
OUCH That read of AK instead of AA did not really cost me anything because I called down the two bets on the turn and river. What cost me a lot was playing that hand in the first place.

Hey dude I have a question for ya as I feel like I blundered also last night… Would you lay this one down pre flop or post flop…(sorry I have to do this by memory as I don’t have the hand with me). 30 person 3 table tourney, $10 buy in, and 3rd or 4th hand into the tourney, no big stacks. I have yet to play a hand so I still have my starting chip count of TC1,000 when I am in the BB with KcQc. 5 Limpers when the button raised it to TC150 (10x BB). This strong pre flop raise in LP with tons of limpers says to me he has a medium PP (77-JJ) with a possible AK or AQ and MAYBE QQ-AA but with little to no reads I am leaning towards a medium PP. It seemed to me like a type of raise to win the pot right there. I decide to call, again I don’t like my move here but it is what I did. Guy in MP calls also. Flop come 8c, 5c, 2c. I check wanting to trap, MP Checks, and initial raiser goes ALL IN (not quiet putting me all in). Now, the only hand I am behind is Axc and I stongly feel the button has a PP (maybe Trips)and MP's check tells me he is afraid of the flush so I go all in. MP caller also goes all in. Hands where:
• ME KcQc
• MP Ac9c
• Button 8d8s
Turn nor river help either of us and MP takes it. My question is what would you have done pre-flop, was my post flop analysis faulty, what would you have done??
funny you should ask this considering that the last THREE times I have had the non-nut flush I lost to a bigger flush. And then just a day ago, I lost when my flush ran into a flopped boat.
Personally, I rarely call a bet in the first rotation without a monster. I EXPECT a big 10xBB raise from any AKo in the first rotation as many players over value it or play it against too many opponents. So, I might not make this pre-flop call (honest and for true).
But after the flop, you only have to fear AcXc and you can't be worried about monsters in the dark. Having said that, I lost this exact same hand 3 months ago. I assumed he had the Ac, so I waited for the turn to be a non club before ramming my chips in. He Had Ac8c. After the flop, I would have done pretty much the same as you did.
