Re: Bad bet on turn??
The turn bet is fine, especially when you're out of position. As often as not, you'll pick up the pot with a bet here. And, as you demonstrated, it's an easy fold when you're raised.

Re: AA did I raise enough?
This early in the tournament, you pretty much have to call here. Your opponent will have AK, KQ, KJ, QQ, JJ, 1010, or pure crap often enough that you can't fold an overpair on this flop.

Re: TT in SB on 2/4
