not sure what blinds are etc but surely you should commit on flop and don't fold now

i also played this comp btw and am an expert in converting 50k stack in zero - so take that fwiw

The bet sizing seems a bit weird but other than not calling on the end we seemed to have played it ok. What part of the action made you think he had an ace?

 my gut feeling was that he had something like ace ten suited once the turn came    but  on flop thought he may have had 66 so think thats why the small reraise to try get more out of him  but shouldnt have give him chance to draw to straight anyway

Raise less preflop. I know this is Gala and you'd expect to get a million callers, but you're in late position, so 3x is fine - we want to pick up a customer with this hand.

That flop sucks, and for me when it's the big blind who has called the flop worries me. He led out for 2k into a 1275 pot? Your raise is fine. Now commit on the turn, no reason he has an ace here.

If you raise less pre then the pots smaller, with only 975 in the middle. The flop bets are probably smaller and we're not playing for stacks in this awkward position.

Why not? Your post is contradicting itself. You want to get money in the pot with a big hand but you don't want people with inferior hands coming along?

True. If we're happy we're getting called anyway then the 4x is fine.

i did manage to get back into it getting up to 16k before going  down to 10 bb blinds  then there was arasie of 5k  and i pushed all in  for 10 k with pocket was up against ak and a king hit to knock me out , i dont generally like to push when been a raise  but my blinds where coming up quick and new would probably ahve to win a race to get back intoit anyway so thought was right thing to do
