| Why the hell didn't you reraise more preflop? Where you looking to trap the guy on your right? | ||

| That's what I thought too, could have made it 1000 to go. Raising to 500 lets some blind hands like AJ or AT look at the flop. | ||

So why are you 95% certain that you laid down the best hand after putting him on a set? That said, folding there is not the end of the world. Tournaments with expanded payouts are about survival. | ||

| I think you made a significant mistake in letting the BB in so cheaply. why not a raise of more like 800-1000? your small raise gives the BB reasonable odds to call with a variety of marginal drawing hands, and a raise also lets you play aggresively after the flop since you have represented a big hand. With your stack as large as it is, you don't need to be trapping people, you need to be bashing them with your stack and picking up small pots and antes. | ||

| Agree with Krause. Mow 'em down early when the blinds are increasing. | ||
