OK, so in thinking about it, I probably cocked up preflop, but does that negate the post flop action, or does it make the decision more important.
I've not played much for ages, and have always been pretty crap, but I actually felt quite comfortable at this point.
On Mansion. a $2 MTT re buy. During the re buy I was lively, but since the break I've been tight - played only one hand. I was on the button with
, I had 10xBB, it was folded round to me, so I pushed. BB had
and I hit on the river. Since the break the table has been playing generally tight, with people happy to fold to a preflop raise ( unlike during the re buy ).
10 seater table
I'm in seat 5 for this hand.
Blinds 800/1600 with 160 ante.
SB is playing well and has a big stack
BB is loose and has a similar stack to me
Player to my left has been playing well, but has recently taken a hit
Player in CO is probably the best player on the table.
Both have me covered.
I have 19,000 chips.
I get dealt
It's passed to me, I raise to 4,800
It folds round to the BB who flat calls.

I'd have put him down for a preflop push with an Ace, or a pair. So either he's hit his mid pair or he's playing a stop and go on me. Because of the speed of the push, I have it down as a premeditated move and suspect the latter, so after taking the clock down I call.
Poor thinking? What do you reckon? I know you guys think on several levels more than me, so , if possible, can I get a view of the proper way to think about this, but also maybe a may I could think about it, given my lower skill set ATM. IE should I just make a standard push or fold preflop, until my thinking gets better. Or maybe always fold postflop in similar circumstances?
