    Nothing much for me to explain. I'm not sure if my raise was right, should I have just pushed? Either way im done so it didn't really matter, but for the future play in that situation....

    Your raise was as good as a shove 'cause you're not folding to a shove after putting in 10BBs pre and obv AA isn't going anywhere if you do raise all-in so I don't think you should change much when faced with this in the future. Oh yeah and to answer your question, I don't think in a regular tournament this is ever a fold. Disclimer: losing player here, so wtf do I know?

    I think you commited all in with your reraise. I prob. would have just raised 2 5k preflop, for 2 reasons. 1 any reraise screams AA, KK and i can still get away. 2 I kinda want action so i make a little with my ladys and it sets up my post flop play. A raise to 10k shuts out any action other than those who already have me beat.

    someone had raised before me to 3k, or else I woulda bet 5k. once he snap pushed I figured I was in trouble. But 6k more for a pot of over 40k I did not want to pass up.

    Ok ,I get want your saying and I did notice the first raise. But your reraise was so much your commited allin at that point and you know a reraise to you means your beat. So you either dont reraise and the same thing happens a different way or. you reraise enuff to still get away if your reraised. Wow my head hurts.

    Ithink iknow your thinking what im thinking you know im thinkeig your thinking.
