2+2 Tourney - Hand 6

[Aaron W.]

By this point in the tournament, it seemed like every ace was getting raised and it felt like there was lots of stealing going on. So I put on my Hold'em hat and tried to run off the stealer by pushing back. Is this anything remotely resembling a smart idea? I tried for two streets, but the cards wouldn't cooperate, so I gave up.

I don't really like it, I wait for a better hand.

You played this hand poorly. A better way to play it would be to call third. No reason to bloat the pot since you're probably not a big favorite over his range of hands anyway. Folding is not terrible if the raiser is very tight, but you said that wasn't the case, so you should call.

Bad fold on fifth.
