This guy usually bet if he had closed to anything, so I thought this was the best way to get chiips out of him. Did I play it right, or should I have bet earlier

I raised to isolate. The guy behind me has been reraisin people all in (since he has all the chips) with marginal hands like 44, it looks like he wants coin flips to me, even though he is pushing people out 90% of the time. I thought I would be crippled if I folded this, toughts?

I dont play in tournaments quite this large, but is reraising with AJo a solid move?

That guy was stealing blinds every orbit 2 or 3 times, forgot to mention that.

on the pp 9's i limp as well, but with only 1 player to act after me on the flop i start the betting there, if he has a queen he'll let you know, then you can get the button and bet it out the whole way with position, also giving you the option to check the river down if too many scare cards come.
