Live tournament last night at the Cincinnatti club. Down to 18 people blinds are at 800/1600.

The player to my right (20k approx) had on the previous level limped in many times, twice i reraised him and he called the raise quickly. The players to are a mixture of good solid players and some small/med stacks who needed to win a pot soon.

The limper, does what he does, and limps in first pos. I look down at  Qh Qs, I have 41k which is a fairly big stack with no one in the tournament with a whole lot more. I called the blind hoping to get some action behind me.

A solid player with big stack of 45k raises it up by 4k, the limper calls and I raise it up by 16k. Solid player is totaly surprised, eventually raising by 16k and I go all in for an other 5k. Pot now close to 90k, and the solid player looks genuinely buffuddled as I turn over my queens to his Ac Qh.

First two cards out are both aces to leave me drawing dead.

A good move, unlucky, or overplayed and got what it deserved?

hmmm i dont really like the limp after the utg limp cos it gives the opprtunity for a lot more limpers and u dont want a multi way pot.
but after this guy does raise and u pop in a nice reraise im very suprised at him stayin wit his AQ. maybe he wasnt aware that a limp reraise shows a lot of strenght. at the end of the day ur a big fav and are unlucky that the 2 aces hit

A nice move and not a call I would have made with AQ. Unlucky in my opinion you played it well.

What Boldie said.

A great move (i would never encourage a limpathon with this hand but with several shortis its not a bad idea) and well played. He obv isnt a solid player imo.
But ill send you the 50p bill.
