Constructive criticism invited

PuppetJack

Obviously looking at this hand retrospectively, I can see a few things I did wrong & that I could pinpoint if I was analysing someone elses's play. thus, being objective I'm trying to work out alterantive ways I could have played this.

 That said, given the relative stack sizes (mine especially) - Position, and the relatively active player (from the few hands I'd seen)  I was against, I'm obviously interested in other views on how I did play, or should have played, this hand.

Obviously by my Turn shove, the hands I put him on did include better Aces, but I felt I had to either take a punt or just risk getting blinded out. - I'd already put a huge block of my stack in the middle, so my hands were bound to a point (I think)

Any opinions appreciated, IF they come adjoined with useful advice pls thank you.

Oh, hand taken from a satellite into the Main Event this evening. 

thx.

If it's an MTT I probably fold pre, as it's a satellite I'm 100% folding pre no question about it.

As played, I probably bet/fold small on the flop.

PuppetJack

Fair point , a fold pre probably wouldve been wise. - was just feeling pressured due to rapid blind levels & I figured the loose limper was weak so would fold rather than call with K4.

Oh well.

 thanks for the advice.

Fold pre and wait for a better hand...especially if he is very loose/active

KAM99

Fold pre.

Reasons why: You know the player is loose and so is going to call, as they can't lay stuff down once they put chips in the middle. Even a good player with a marginal hand may call your raise due to the fact they are getting nearly 3:1 to call when you only 3bb raise.

You have basically 18bb left. You have SOOO little play here due to fact any cbet would be a near certain pot committing move. You could just about get away with a 350 bet and a fold to a shove, but blah.

In this spot I'm waiting for better and looking to get my stack in with it. Sure raise a hand like this on button with no loose limpers etc, but otherwise we all know how rag aces ruin us.
