How bout this poker hand? Tips

[signalcaller]

Would you guys have played this differently. He was playing loose. I was the chip leader by over double everybody. Would have had over 130,000 chips and basically could have cruised to 1st or 2nd place

Tough play... dont know how you did but I would have done the same thing. You had a lot of chips and you could survive another more confident hand

I ended up finishing 4th. I was still kind of upset since I thought I had a very good chance at 1st or 2nd but whatever

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

check fold the turn

don't bet the turn if you can't call a raise out of position.

glad you made the money. sucks when the A is out there and you have a big pair.

Also betting 4800 into a 16k pot on the flop screams bluff me cause I don't have an Ace
