Preflop: Raise.
Flop: RAISE
Turn: push (pot sized bet)

What you did was play very passively, allowing the other players to take control. When you finally wake up and push though, CO only needs a 7 to complete a straight.

Yeah, I don't like it. At this point in the tourney, I try to get as much money in the pot preflop with aces (preferably all-in), so I don't like that you're not reraising.

But since you didn't reraise preflop, you should raise the flop. Barring that, push the turn.

I really don't like slowplaying aces at the lower buy-ins. It gives your opponents too much of an advantage against you. Take control and at least min-raise the flop. Unless the table is so tight that you won't get any action with your pre-flop raises, which is highly unlikely, be agressive.

You want to be raising your good hands preflop and on the flop.

Waiting until the turn or river will not extract maximal value....

I would move in preflop at this level. The BB is 30. I want to win a monster. And I also don't want to outplay myself. I hate outplaying myself.
