I haven't had such a flop in about 8 months, so I'll answer only as best i can smile.gif

Obv no one can have a K here, so you are essentially looking to get people with Ax to follow along, and in a perfect world, maybe even wraggle (proprietary word) a underpair or broadway cards into another street or two. Since the pot is so juice preflop, and it's very early in the tourney, there's a better chance of getting people to continue light in this hand. I make a gross continuation underbet. Something like 300. Hopefully you can achieve a whole line of calls. Regardless, I would basically set it up here like that....and assuming you don't get a shove flop response, I'd then check the turn. You are OOP, and the tourney is so early that if you check a 2000 chip pot back after a weak flop c/bet, i think it's like 90% that the Ax or air will then shove on you trying to make a play. Id b disappointed if you didn't come out of this pot with less than 3500-4000 chips. Watch out though so you don't get JSpencer'd with that A on the turn or river.

+1.

This is the world's easiest bet ever, by the way. No Ax is folding.
