can someone please tell me if I did the right thing or not?

GrazB:
Am I alone in thinking that the sb call out of position with A5o was pretty poor play regardless of the 3* bet or not?

Mikeyboy9361:
Well done on your come back a nice ROI. I never play that higher buy in, and never will until I win some major tourney some where, maybe the GUKPT when I win my seat via an APAT event ;)
The call by the small blind was pretty loose, I certainly wouldn"t be calling in that spot.

its was weak and should go in some notes. blatent disregard for gap concept = fish. If you folded and he doubled through, the better players at the table (ideally seasted to A5 next right) are going to be calling him lighter and we want to be involved with that action getting double our money when better player goes over the top of A5 and we go all in! you feeling that, eh?  

Regarding AQo, it is a toughie, generally if you dont want action yeah 5xBB raise is apporpriate but online... A5 fish still calls and recalls on flop. live everyone craps emself and folds.

If we are on a looose table i wouldn"t be affraid to scrap AQ early on and increase my Ax holding in CO/MP looking to hit a board hard with 2 pair and stakcing off against weak opponent with top pair and controlling pots against the stronger ones.

Santino67:
With less than 3k left, 1.5k in pot and 2 checks I"d have shoved or checked flop with those 2 clubs out there. I believe the 2/3 pot bet only left you 12bb"s and then vulnerable to a re-raise (if the other 2 stacks were bigger than yours). Chances are if you"d shoved at that point they"d have both folded. 900 into the 1500 pot is giving the flush draw just under 3 to 1 and with turn and river to come is too tempting imo.

Absolutely agree that the A5 call is a complete shocker though (but stack sizes would still be worth knowing). Nice recovery as well and cashing actually means you made the right decision at that point.
