I know its very early in the tourney, but this guy had already played the first 2 hands with nothing, plus his raise indicated he didn't want a call. Am i kidding myself, and just got lucky ?

He played the first 2 hands with nothing, so you retaliate by playing nothing? That's dumb... why not wait 'til you have SOMETHING so you can take down his NOTHING. You basically tagged him as a donk and then played like one yourself.

Too early... and you had to know you were behind already. He would have to be on a stone cold bluff for you to be a favorite. With a flop like that he could have very well had a hand to outdraw you as well. I dont like this play at all. You were to anxious.

Yah this is pretty bad. I don't like raising the limper that much with AJ, but I would with AQ.

This is definitely FPS though. A good piece of advice is don't get involved in hands when people make pot committing raises/bets unless you them dominated.
