    Situation: second hour of tourney, I have been playing very tight, not getting many hands. Does anybody pay attention to that anymore? What could be his thoughts on this hand? Other than "I have an Ace" The only thing I can think is he thought I was stealing.
    Any thoughts??

    I think you answered the question yourself. You had the button and raised. I've seen lots of people try to resteal from his position. His attempt at a resteal didn't work since you actually had a good hand, but he had only left behind 1000 chips after putting 1600 more in. With blinds at 100/200 I suppose he had to call his last 1000 to possibly win 5300 and hope you didn't have aces. From there you got PokerStarred. Sorry bout your luck.
