My first live MTT Casino Tournament

[jaeh00d]

Well i had been looking to get into this tourney for a while. Its a 45 dollar buy in, with anywhere from 45 - 100+ people. Turns out we had 97 people today, 10 tables. Started out with 1,500 in chips and blinds already at 50 - 100, ( i thought that was outrageous and way too high to start, 15X BB to start.) Turns out the players were exactly as i thought, Half drunk, rich, no skilled poker playing cubans ( im cuban too guys, no offense to anyone ) Blinds would then raise (double) every 15 - 20 mins it seemed ) I began playing very tight in the beginning stages and was in the big blind with 72s and got to see a great flop of 772 to the small blinds 22..poor guy. So i then doubled up around the 7 or 8th hand of the tourney. Turns out the entire final table paid out. Sitting at the second to last table (last 16 players, 2 hours later.) I am in the BB with AQs. First position limps, folds all around to the SB who then goes all in for 2,200 chips ( blinds 800 - 1600 .) My read tells me the SB is going in with garbage some desperation move to double up, So i then come over the top and re raise to 6,800 chips. The limper instantly calls and flop comes A 10 4 rainbow. I then instantly go all in for my remaining 3,700 chips and he instantly calls.

he shows JQos ( correct read on my behalf )

desperate SB shows 56os

flop : A 10 4 RAINBOW

turn : 10

river : K.... dickhead got broadway!

so i got sucked out in my first live tourney...lol. It kinda left a shitty taste in my mouth. What bothered me is he then looked at me after and said to me in spanish, " I had to call because I thought you were making a move on me ."

He committed half of his chips pre flop and then some more with a JQos and spiked the miracle three outer on the river. wow... it kinda hurt.

My question is.... was i wrong here by raising only so much, and not completely re-raising all in since i was positive I had him beat with AQs. Did i set myself up for error by only raising 3 times the SB's small raise. I dont think i gave him that great of pot odds to call, maybe i did I'm not sure. The thing is he says that he thought i was making a move on him, that kinda pisses me off because i felt that was a way for him to cover up since he knew he got extremely lucky. I played tight throughout the entire tourney, from what they saw, I did steal two pots with 83os, but that was never shown. So i think it was kind of a donkey call, he called my raise "INSTANTLY WITH A RAISE AND RE RAISE behind of him." You guys tell me was there any other way i could have changed my play here. I am 100 hundred percent sure by my reads there is no way i do not raise this pot at all. But what really pissed me off is his call after the flop with just a 3 outer to get his straight and hitting on the river.

All input is appreciated guys thank you

also average chip stack at that time was a little higher than me, but i was pretty much an average stack there...with blinds increasing to 900-1800 in approx 4 mins
