Looking back i agree...i didnt mean to raise that much. To be honest i've never played in a tourney with antes before so i tried to add the sum of the antes to my raise which was meant to be 4X the BB. I dont know what to make of the whole thing, my read was spot on, but as you guys point out i had no business putting in my whole stack on KQ...I suppose i was just another victim of trying to be a hero syndrome and got a horrible beat to teach me a lesson!
cheers guys

I also was the tournament last night....here's my bad beat story and also if anyone could give their opinions on how i played this hand i'd appreciate it....The blinds were 200/400 with the 25 ante...i had about 12K...it was folded to me on the button and i made it 1800 to go with  ....the BB, who i had played a few pots with and seemed to be ana gressive player...paused then reraised another 4K....he had about 5.5 K left and i had him covered...my first instinct was to fold but then i weighed up the info i had...1.he was aggressive 2. i thought he put me on a button steal 3.he was trying to stare me out which i thought was a sign of weakness 4. his bet led me to believe he didnt want to get called 5. he left himself enough chips to be able to fold and the idea i had was that 80 plus players were left the blind structure was fast, i'm here to win and i put him on a medium pair and thought this was a good time to try and get some chips. I reraised him all in thinking he might even fold. He thinks, looks frustrated and calls with K6! and of course hits his 6, and has this smug look that made me wish poker was a contact sport!I'm crippled and gone. I didnt have to do what i did but went with my read and was right. Any thoughts guys and girls?

thanks guys...after playing alot of 5$ and 10$ 6 packs ive found that playing supertight until the bubble (as you always get paid off when you hit despite your table image) and then super aggressive after the bubble is pretty much a fool proof way to beat these games-as i'm sure you all know.I mananaged to turn 20$ into 400$ by doing that in a few months but didnt feel that it was worth the time i put into it as i only was making like 6$ an hour!Once my bankroll allows me to move up to 25$ i realise i'll have to change my tactics slightly and i would never consider calling raises with Ace X against good players unless there was a huge difference in stack size.

this is my first post on blonde i enjoy reading what you all have to say and have a question. I am a low stakes sit and go player who battles the idiots of pacific poker on a daily basis  robbing them blind of their 2.50£ lol. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the odds are of someone else having an ace at the table if you have one also in a 6 handed game?I dont call raises with ace rag but it seems from observation that there is usually only ever one ace at the table and calling with Ace rag once in a while may a good way to bust the people who cant laydown KK QQ no matter what.
