[B]Hand1 JTs[/B]

Preflop
This is an extreme ICM situation, where you are second in chips, and everyone else are much shorter apart from the chip leader. To make matter worse the chip leader also has position on you. The main adjustment in this situation is to nit up completely and play maybe only 30-50% of the hands, you would normally play. JTs is not exactly a monster, so just fold and wait for some of the other players to bust or dubble up. As played I guess, its ok to call the 3-bet, but this is exactly, what we dont want to happen, and why we should open fold.

Flop
Something is off with the display of the pot size here, since he 3-bet to 5BB, so with the blinds and antes the pot is only around 12,5BB and not 20,5BB. This mean, his C-bet is not as small as it looks with the erroneous potsize shown. Still an easy call with top pair + draw. No need to raise though, since a raise will never get a better hand to fold, and only a few worse hands will call, plus it helps him build the pot, which you do not want.

Turn
Not a good card obviously, but you still have so much equity, even if he hit the K, he is giving you 4:1, and its not for all your chips. So I think, this fold is a significant mistake. Just call and then make a decision on the river.

Preflop
This is a mandatory 4-bet jam. He is 3-betting you a ton, and if you dont even fight back with a hand as strong as AK, you are allowing him to completely run you over.
