We are ITM. Considering the other V is also coming for the ride is this call considering the bounties & pot odds? The turn was a scare card for me.

I mean this almost has to be the nuts right. He's not raising 2 pair or probably even a set here. The only thing you beat from Rudy is air which is just so unlikely. Is he really going bet turn, raise shove river into turn callers with nothing? Like is he just going crazy cause he missed his naked ace of clubs flush draw? Idk. Also you have no bounty value here both the players started the hand with more chips than you so you can't knock any of them out.

Think on these terms

He isn't bluffing, but what is he value betting? Set? Two pair? Straight? Flush? Why didn't he bet on the flop? Why did he bet 2400 on the turn in a pot of 6000 against 4 opponent? Why didn't he lead the river as he was the aggressor and rather choose to check/raise? If you think about it, the answer is there itself. Remember to take into account the bounty and the fact that you disconnected.

On a side note: In a limped pot, you make a great hand. Bet. Bet the flop.

Ok so I made a mistake of not donking the flop. Was more focused in protecting the stack than making harsh decisions.

SB had Q8 off while the other limped with Aces. SB was going for the bounty. Very typical of these tourneys. Should've called

It's not a donk-lead, its being the aggressor (it was a limped pot, remember?). Donk-lead is when you call a raise OOP and take the lead on flop/turn/river.

Anyways, hope you learnt to deduce it yourself. Or at least, understood what was happening in the hand.
