This is about 30 minutes into the MTT.
Main villian seems like a solid player but nothing special (this is a $10 tournament after all). He actually had a bigger stack previously, but he doubled me up to my current stack size when my AK beat his QQ all-in preflop.
No reads on the SB.
I thought my play was pretty standard, but my question is:
It crossed my mind to raise to about T250 when the small blind bet. With three opponents yet to act, all who limped in voluntarily, is that a better line to gain info about my opponents' hands? And, am I ever looking to dump this hand (I think not, as the only real bad situations are being up against a bigger flush draw or a set)?
Thanks
