First hand after the re-buy period has ended and the break is over. ($20 w/ $10 rb mon. tournament) I am in BB. It is folded to the cutoff who raises a pretty big amount, but still has a decent stack.(I forget the exact amounts) I have an average or somewhat small stack. He has me covered. The raise is big enough that it will commit me to the pot. The button and SB fold. I look at my cards and see QQ. I ponder a minute and review his action in relation to the size of his stack and his position. I didn't know him at all and had only seen him play a couple of hands before the break. I re-raised all in after deciding there was a good chance he didn't have AA or KK. He called. Results to follow. I am interested on some analysis on how the stage of the tournament affected my decision. I think I may have made a bad call even if I was absolutely sure he had AK and not a bigger pair.
