I'm sure I played this wrong

[durron597]

I probably should have reraised the flop to thin the field but I didn't want to give MP2 a chance to reraise me; while this is early in the tourney I've played with MP2 before and I respect his PFR's too much. Though perhaps thinning the field is more important?

If you respect his raises and are afraid he might re-raise why call here with AJ.

Looking at MP2's play here I'm not sure you can give him too much respect.

You're probably right. I guess I'm still "Ace!.... and oh look a face card!" Anyway, it turned out that MP2 had Ks Qs - at least that's what he said after the hand.
