Default Re: MiniQuest: 50 games in 60 hours

This was a hand I had a problem with.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed)

Button (t1590)
Hero (t2440)
BB (t1375)
UTG (t1330)
UTG+1 (t3045)
MP1 (t1455)
MP2 (t1605)
CO (t660)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t50, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t50, CO folds, Button folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t200) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets t150</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t450</font>, BB folds, UTG+1 calls t300.

Turn: (t1100) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t500</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t1000</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t2600

I was all excited about flopping two pair, AND getting the check-raise in, the ace just about broke my heart.

I used the time button to think about this one, but what decided me was that in addition to the chance he had the T - not insignificant, IMO - there was also the chance he had an A to go with one of the one of the other cards, giving him a higher two pair.

Possibly I made a mistake by not going all-in. What do you think?
