Ok, now realise it was bad play.

I thought BB might be trying to make an early statement of defending his blind then continuation betting or he was doing that with AK, AQ and continuation betting. I raised because I wanted to take pot down. If I flat called I was worried that a scare card would come and I could be bluffed off pot or he could hit his overs.

Happy to take criticsm as want to learn from it(hence my posting!)!

2nd hand of tournament.

10,000 chips, (1x 10,000 rebuy & 1x 10,000 add on available).

Blinds 50/100.

Mid position  , I raise to 300, BB reraises to 900. reraise called.

Flop  .

BB leads out for 1500.

I raise to 4500.

BB tanks for 3-4 minutes, then shoves.

I fold.

Thoughts please?

 

Thanks, even I understand that now!

Good points.......and its not rocket science either!

Sometimes just get caught in the moment without thinking things through!

Thanks guys....

Some really interesting stuff for me to ponder.......raising too much and thinking about further action is indeed so right and seems so simple now.......

FWIW the BB had 90k.

Not sure I understand all of the last post.......think I'll concentrate on the other advice for now!

Been beating myself up over this play......was it a marginal call/fold or was I being a total donk?!

EC Main event, 30odd players remaining, average stack around 70k.

I'm on the button with  with around 50k

SB(which I later found out was M3Boy, would be good for his views on this hand!) had 17k

Blinds are 800/1600 with 100 ante, 8 players

I hadn't played many hands and had created(I thought) a tight image and had already passed unopened button once or twice

I raise to 6k, SB pushes...

I call.

My thinking: 11k to call with 26k already in pot. SB seemed from his demeanour and watching/listening to him at the table etc, a well respected player, so I thought he might be making that play back at me knowing that I wasn't getting the odds to call a better ace or he was shoving with paint like kq or kj or was pushing cos I was a tight player who may fold to the re-raise.

Just for the record he had  and won pot!

Thoughts please(as its my first post in the hand analysis, do hope you'll take it easy on me!)...

GL mate.
