$565 tourney at Foxwoods yesterday, 873 started, about 250 left. I've just been moved to a table that includes Men Nugyen, and Cathy Liebert, among others. Blinds are $100/$200, I have about $2500 left. In the BB I get dealt A /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/club.gif. Folded around to the button who raises it to $600. He's got about $4500 left after the raise. SB folds, I call the extra $400. Flop is A /images/graemlins/heart.gif10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif. I push.

Questions: Is my pre-flop play too weak here? Should I have pushed back at what seemed to be an obvious steal attempt?
If I beleive it was a steal attempt, should I have checked the flop, and let the raiser bluff off more of his chips? Any comments/criticism is welcome.
