    Default Did I make a mistake in this hand?

    Did I make a mistake here?

    Was playing in an online tournament, $5 entry and it was early. About 30 minutes in. when I got this hand:

    AsAd

    I raised 5x the Big Blind. Probably too big of a raise, but I did that because the table had been calling big raises. I was in 1st position. All stacks at the table are about even.

    Players in 3rd and 7th position called, others folded.

    Flop Comes:

    Kd 3c 5h

    pot is 825, (blinds at 50 and 25, two called my raise of 250)

    I raised 600, making the pot 1425. Player in 3rd called, player in 7th folded.

    I have 800 chips left, player in 3rd has 900 chips left.

    Turn Comes: 8c

    Right now, I'm thinking player in 3rd position has Ace King, I don't see many other hands that would make sense. 3's or 5's would of almost certainly have folded pre-flop. I thought he might have Kings, but I can't check to that small possibility. The turn wasn't scary at all, so I decide to go all in. A decent raise would make me pot committed anyway. So I go all in for my last 800.

    Player C calls.

    flop comes 10d, making the board: Kd 3c 5h 8c 10d


    He turns over a paid of 3's and my aces lose to his trip 3's.

    Did I make any mistakes? I'm thinking that I just got screwed by a very bad call pre-flop that he got lucky and hit. This was a small stakes tourney, ($5 entry) and I know players will be aggressive and wild. But with the blinds going up every 8 minutes, I think checking the flop or turn would have been too conservative.

    Thoughts? Thanks.

    You played it fine but your thought process wasn't good.

    fist pump get it on turn. If table will call big raises bet big.
    people stack off with so much crap in these donkuments early that you just got ul here.

    on the flop you only 1 1/2 times the pot left so hard to fold

    now if you got c/r on the flop by a very tight person I could maybe find a fold

    sometimes if an aggro monkey calls you can c/r all in on the flop to

    Since you did not give any stats or even a basic description of the opponents playing style you really can't put them on a range here.

    Are they loose ie. do they overcall w/ K10os type hands or are they nitty and only call w/ suited connectors and PP to set mine. This information is just as important as the effective stack size at every street

    its late so this wandered abit sorry

    Him calling preflop to a 5x raise is not a bad move with pocket 3's. Doesn't matter when you lost your money, you were screwed once that unlucky flop came out. Move on to the next hand...
