Gosh, 5 guys in a hand, you were the shortest stack and you ended up winning by high card? But everyone else played the end until the showdown or only you and another one? If you went all 5 until the showdown, is awesomely freeroll action If someonemanaged to eliminate competition before showdown, to take their chips, and then loses the main pot against you because he just did a nice bluff, that's also great to watch. It happened to me a lot!

If you think that this is a strange hand you cant have played much poker over the years. Ace high is quite a regular winner in all in pots and is not unusual at all. I would love to have ace high every hand because it is a winner most of the time

....Naaaa, that isn't true. Ace high is around a 50/50 shot against just one opponent when all-in preflop, but against three opponents, it's unlikely to be the best hand after the river... especially considering there were bets and calls.

its the best way to play this hand OP with small stack.Maybe im be woried,because 4 players play in early and middle position.I have same situation with A some low kicker,on flop came Ace,but in freerolls you always find some aggro donk who continue raise bet with junks hand to pick up crumbs from the rest of pot,even though that its not the way to play,few years ,few years ago its be unwritten rule between players that while kick out third,4,5 player not raising or bluffing,only if they have really something
