Preflop seems standard, K8o i might fold.
Flop : they can bet when value cut but i am not happy.
Turn : when they check i think they have a lot of jacks, but maybe a slowplay.
River decided to do a small value bet 10% pot exciting them to raise with a very strange hand.
Perfectly function they min raise i snap call. they transform a 8 in bluff.
Is this very small bet ok or should I do a bigger size. Problem is i dont want to shove with a bad kicker like this, not sure they call enough, but bet half pot i am commit to a jam and i never play a bluff like this, so i decided to do this very small sizing.

Vilain is very, very aggro, even tough he limp preflop.
Preflop seems normal
Flop i go for the x/call because very aggressive
Turn : same
River : My plan is to check call because he bet a 4 at the turn and any PP i think. So he can only have a king high flush or maybe queen high flush because else he was bluffing or a 5 in thin value. He can bluff a lot of airbluff when i check 3 times, i have the ace of diamond so he can’t have ace high flush, so i decided to hero call, what do you think ? We have to count the combos here i think
K9o ~ I’m not a fan of K9o but on the BT I would mix it in. Pre is good. I don’t think that I would be brave enough to bet that turn with a weak kicker. Maybe I would as it checked to me in position (I looove the BT). River is good. I may have checked it, but him coming overtop too thin, you have to call that all day. If I am Villain with middle pair I’m raising you AT LEAST 3x, probably 5x. I think you played that very well. You are a better player than I am.
A8o ~ Definitely a hero call. I would not have called. I like the plan and the strategy but I would not have played A8 from early against an aggro. After flop though, I like the plan to check-x all the streets against this player type, but that river you have air against an aggro. To play an aggro you call with strong made. Yes, he is bluffing those diamonds but there is all kinds of stuff he could have here better than an A. 55, A3 (wheel), A4, A5 are all in his range. Even T-rag could be there. T5 for 2-pair in the river is well within range. And maybe even some crap like 96di. That was very dangerous hero call. I would wait for better made hand but that’s me.
this bro was bet all of his pairs when he has in the turn so to me he had always nothing. 55, A4 he value on the turn imo (was the read ingame). OK he can have a 5 sometimes but not enough combos against all of his airballs hands i think
An hand where i want your opinion
HJ is a top reg FR of MTT (Flavien Guenan if u want to know).
First level of a tournament, and he fold this. That choked me so i want your opinion. Vilain was not tight or anything like this
First, A5s is Villain? If he folded, how do you know what he had? Did he tell you?
Ok, folding A5s with 2 players behind (plus blinds = 4) is not weird. It’s an okay hand, not a great hand. Sure, it was only 2.2bb with deep stacks but he has 4 players that could squeeze and if he does not flop AAx, 55x, A5x, or 2 dia, he has a check-fold. Even if he flops Axx he has weak kicker. Even with AAx he still has weak kicker, so he does not want multi-way flop, which means that he would need to re-raise pre with A5. : (
In a ring game he would probably call or re-raise, but in tournament you want to avoid unnecessary risks. Your stack is your lifeline. Maybe he lives to be 90 years old, but if he 3-bets to 7bb, whiffs flop and check-folds, he only lives to 83 years old.
disagree with the end, anyway you have to win chips, you cant be ITM without winning chips
I’m just saying, folding A5s from middle position in a tournament (even with no raise) is pretty normal thing to do. CO or BT, oh yes I would totally play that. I would standard open with it.
what do you mean “CASH GAME” ? There is no CASH at replay
