This hand is from the million dollar party tourney tonight. To preface this hand let me say that I have been playing limit holdem in the 5/10 - 30/60 range for 4 years but never ventured much into no limit (tournies or otherwise) for whatever reason. As such I am troubled by this hand that some of you more seasoned in NL tournies might not think twice about. The big question is obviously the turn but I would appreciated comments on any and all streets (especially betting amounts). Am I just bitter that AA got beat and the turn was an easy fold or is there room for debate here?
This is also only the third hand of the tourney, so no reads but I think this is important in the turn decision.

Final Pot: t2465
He ended up having Q10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif leaving me with about 300 in chips 3 hands into the tourney. On a lighter note I managed to squeeze every bit out of that 300 and outlasted 1300 people but alas...in the end KK ran into AK who ran into an A35 flop....
thanks for answering what I suspect is an easy question,
