Important to note that this was a freeroll tournament, so play is understandably loose; however, unlimited rebuys within the first two hours make it a really nice prize pool by the end of the night. Starting stacks are 20,000 or £10 gets you 40,000, with blinds starting at 100/100; for the second week in a row, I get dealt pocket Kings on the first hand of the night, turning my 20,000 into about 30,000 when I hit a set.
I don't see another flop for another hour because I'm dealt absolute trash... until I look down at in the BB with 400/800 blinds and an 800 button ante. Four people limp around to me, meaning there's 4,800 in the pot when the action comes to me.
I choose to raise to 6,000 total; standard 3X raise (2,400) + 800 for each limper (3,200)... give or take another 400. At this point, I'm either looking to pick up the dead money, narrow it down to heads-up... or induce a three-bet from someone who was trying to potentially trap by limping.
Women to my left says "this smells like Aces or Kings" to me, before calling the 6,000; small blind also calls the 6,000, taking the pot up to just over 20,000. My stack size is about 21,000; the other two players at about 30,000.
Flop comes:
