I wanted to ask the resident experts about a play of mine in a tournament last night, which ended up working for me, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean it was the right decision. The first hand in a 10 person SNG at Party (start with 800 chips) went like this: I was in middle position, a couple players limped in front of me, so I called with AQ offsuit, a couple more players limped in and the BB checked, I believe there were about 6 people to see the flop, which came:
4, 8, Q rainbow
The SB and the BB checked, and the next player bet 200 into a pot that only had 100. Everyone folded to me. In my mind I thought that such an overbet likely meant one of two things: A total bluff or he had a Q with a worse kicker and he wanted to take down the pot right there. I thought it was unlikely that he had a set with such a big bet. I raised all-in, he thought for a second, called and showed Q10. He got no help and I doubled up. I just wanted to know what people here think of my play? I know it worked out for me this time but was my reasoning correct?
