Re: Embarassingly Butchered AQ Hand
Well, since all his chips wound up in the pot I imagine he either had 53 or KJ. Your hand wasn't a monster and you're OOP, so I can't really fault you for not re-raising preflop.
I'd probably want to see where I stood with top pair/second kicker and pushed off the draws with a re-raise on the flop. Keep in mind that in low levels of tournies even though a bet may break the odds a lot of players will continue to draw since the pots are so small. You often really need to punish them to drive them off.
With both a possible straight and flush on the board and not even holding top kicker (especially if I had shown some strength earlier in the hand) I would fold to this all-in on the river.
