What do you do on the river here?

that is the worst played aces i have ever seen btw

It is Pokerstars and very early in the tournament. And given that I do my 2 rebuys straight away I am a little cautious at this stage. Only wanting to get it in with the nuts or 2nd nuts. So a lot of people like to try to be clever and trap to save themselves $4 - $8 on 1 - 2 rebuys.

I had just doubled on the previous hand and was sitting in 4th I think so was happy with the result.

oh this was in a rebuy period?

i am definitely getting it in preflop.

other than that i think you played it well.

Really? Look how deep I am though...in terms of # of BB's. Why do I need to risk running into AA or KK here or even racing against AK in this spot?

If villain 5 bets or shoves I have to call and get it in bad... By flatting pre (though not ideal with the amount of callers) I can fold on that flop if they bet and lose the minimum.

effective stacks are around 120bb. (you have 200+ but its effective stacks that are important)

since it is in a rebuy period, people's shoving ranges are a lot wider than QQ+, AK.

taking this flop 4 way is basically set mining.

A re raise shove I think I am calling there as that would look weaker pre flop. I am not too worried about the flat callers behind. But I am happy to set mine at this point of the tournament.
