BB lost with AA the hand before so I figured he could be steaming and go all in with any 2 on the BB. So I raised a small enough amount so that when he reraises me, I can go all in and put the rest other callers to the test. I love this play!! unfortunatly it didn't work out exactly how I wanted.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP1 (t910)
MP2 (t555)
CO (t950)
Button (t2295)
SB (t5165)
BB (t305)
Hero (t1450)
UTG+1 (t1030)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
Hero raises to t110, UTG+1 calls t110, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls t110, Button folds, SB folds, BB raises to t305, Hero raises to t1450, UTG+1 folds, CO calls t840 (All-In).

Flop: (t2830) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players, 1 all-in) </font>

Turn: (t2830) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players, 1 all-in) </font>

River: (t2830) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players, 1 all-in) </font>

Final Pot: t2830
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: t1040 (t1040), between CO, BB and Hero.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by BB (t1040).</font>
<font color="#990066">Pot 2: t1790 (t1790), between BB and Hero.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by BB (t1790).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows Th 3d (three of a kind, tens).
Hero shows Qh Qd (two pair, queens and tens).
CO shows Kd As (one pair, tens).
Outcome: BB wins t2830. </font>

The converter must have made a mistake, BB couldn't have won t2830. I think I made a little on the hand but not much. Is this a tactic anybody else ever uses?(raising small enough so if a person behind goes all in, you can come over the top of the entire table)

You made nearly a standard raise to start (120 is 4xBB). What would your "normal" raise have been?

My normal raise would have been about t250. I had 250 typed in the betting box, then I reconsidered. If I had bet that much I wouldn't have been able to come over the top of the BB if he did indeed go all in.
