In an online tournament today with a 1000 players. Played well and was second highest chip total at table by about $20.00. My position was the small blind. The blinds were only 20/10. Picked up pocket A’s. Three people bet $20.00 before me. After a long wait I fired in $40.00 which dropped the BB and another player and the rest called. The flop came 9c Qh 3d. After a long wait I checked. The next player bet $40.00. The following player folded. I was putting the bettor on a pair of queens at best. I had also seen him bet large and fold people with A and small cards. Again after a long I bet the amount of the pot and the other player reraised. After a long wait I called. The turn was a 6s and I checked. The other player bet $200.00. After a long wait I raised to $300.00. Then the player went all in and I called. He had Qd 5s and I had the AA. You guessed it …the river was Q and I was out of the tournament.
Did I play this wrong? I put him on the pair of queens, which was correct. There was nothing on the board to help him although I did slow play it.
