Thanks for the replies guys. One more thing. Do you like limping or folding in ep? Still would be a tough spot if I limped and 22 called, which he would.I think I was getting a little impatient and saw how terrible my table was and wanted to take advantage with a decent hand, so thats why I raised.

Its a tough spot if I had limped and value betted the hand. If I had limped then what is your line for the rest of the hand? Im probably just getting paranoid after being busted by sets like this, but Im trying to get back into the MTT scene after a long hiatus due to sngs. thanks

Also, say i had AK and did raise and hit a K62 flop, are you going to go broke like I did?

Yes, I would be likely to go broke on either AK or AQ in those situations.

However, by raising a smaller amount preflop and not betting so much after the flop, you can hope to not lose your entire stack here.

Save big bets early on for A.monster hands or B.Situations where you're hoping to enduce a fold but if he does happen to call then you still think you're favored. or C. outright bluffs that you can easily lay down when played back at.
