last 17/52 in cardiff 150 rebuy tonight. Blinds 1600/800. i get qq in early pos raise to5k from 25k stack. get reraised to 12k by fairly abc player who has been on a big rush- from the felt to stack of approx 30k. we are 2 of the 3 big stacks on the table (the other folded utg). all folds back to me. i feel he has a big hand (AA/KK) although ak and JJ are not out of the question. First place pays 8k to 9th- paying £300. we are both top 5 in tourny at present

Do I a)  fold
       b) call
       c) reraise

I call- flop a24 check check
        turn 2    check (dwell)- check
        river      Q!!!!

Do I a) check call
       b)check fold
       c)check reraise
       d)bet allin
       e)bet half stack fold to reraise (leave approx 6k)
       f) bet half stack call allin reraise.
       h) any other option I havnt thought of.

 I  did f)........

I push, still the same as whats happened. Gather he had AA :( One of those things mate.

The trouble with pushing is he is only going to call with a bigger hand (you do get the odd crazy), so i would put a decent value bet in and call the allin.
As for preflop it depends on if you are prepared to go allin with this hand, what do you do if he goes allin?

which is basically what i did- and yes he had aa- just had a BIg feeling thats ehat he had- and was looking to see if i could have got away without losing all my chips

What do you do when a 10 high flop comes down after calling his reraise out of interest?

despite all above- i think i push- the preflop call allow me to get away from ak  or ak on flop

At this stage of a tourney this is allin for me.  Late middle stages of tournies I feel that you almost always have to gamble unless stacks are very deep.
