Default Re: Was this a good move?

Did you also "feel" your opponent would call? Is so, it is usually not considered a good idea to go all in when you *know* you will be called by a better hand.

A better way to ask it is, if you could see your opponent's cards, would you have gone all in, or just checked? (See "The Theory of Poker" by Sklansky).

Also, how much was in the pot? It sounds like you made a massive overbet...

I don't know your opponent, but in this situation on line I would probably have made a 3/4 pot sized bet and take it from there.
