Congratulaation it makes a very good pot for you . There are a lot of players that will play to the river because they have an ace and they think that ace always win and they think that the other player is on abluff you have to love these kind of players.
Whit the preflop raised you made i would not have reache the river but folded preflop with A 3 even suited.

Good raise preflop. I would have expected a higher bet at the flop. Your bet looks weak there. Rest of the hand is ok. A bet on the river would be questionable. What hand that we can beat would call three bets here?

I would bet there. It is still a 0.82$ tournament and i know there's value to be had on the river. If he shoves then consider folding.
People don't fold their bottom pairs in these tournaments (Especially for small bets). Smaller bet size might help you to keep him in the hand with hands like that. Sure your bet looks weak, but does people really use their brains in these tourneys? Well, some do, but still.. Always try to get as much value as you can. In the micro stakes it's easy to know when you can valuebet light.

I dont think you did much wrong and i would have probably checked the river myself. If you bet the river and then your opponent shoves, what are you going to do? You had already built a nice pot and i would have settled for that

I still think that you can valuebet the river. Only because it's micro stakes and i have experience from these kind of situations on stakes like this. I don't think you get shoved on too often. And "we" have chosen a smaller bet size so we don't lose that much if that happens. In the long run i think it is profitable

I actually agree with this. I play micros only myself and this is true. The reason why I asked is exactly this one. Thanks for your comments mobsters
