Pokerstars NL HE tournament, $50/$100 blinds
My stack is down to 1,000 chips - poor cards, missed flops, etc.

I have 65 suited in the pocket.

UTG and UTG + 1 call, everyone else folded to me, I call $50 (hoping for the implied/pot odds). BB checks.

Flop is 7 6 2 rainbow (1 of my suit).

UTG has about 3,400+ chips, UTG+1 has about 1,300 chips.

First to act I move all-in, hoping to win the pot right there or be called by overcards.

BB folds, UTG raises, UTG + 1 folds.

UTG flips over pocket Aces and yet again I bust out early.

It was shortly before the break (blinds would have gone up to $75/$150) and I didn't want to wait until my stack became insignicant relative to the blinds.

Understand that opponents often limp with pocket pairs. Now would I expect AA, no, but I could easily imagine getting called by 88 as well as A7.

I will say this, almost all of your posts are errors in being too aggressive. Better than being mr passive.
