Let me set the scene.
I'm playing a 40 man tournament and your's truly is sitting in 2nd place with chips valued at 4,900 with the tournament average being around 1,500. The current leader is on 5,200 and is sat on my table. The chip leader is in mid position and I'm the big blind.
My hand KJo My Opponents hand Q5o
He raises and it's folded to me and i call.
Flop AQT rainbow
Bingo!!!
I raise half the pot and he calls so i expect he's got a pair but probably not Aces as he's been playing very aggressive.
Turn 5 and the board is full rainbow
I bet about a quarter of the pot. He raises and leaves himself 1,500 chips so I re-raise all-in. He calls and we goto the River.
River Q
This obviously gives him a full house and he wins the pot.
Would anyone play it differently? I set out with the aim of getting all his chips in the pot maybe if i'd of slow-played it to the River it may of stopped me going bust.
