Re: avoid the big stack at all cost, or decided based on EV?

The first MTT I ever played, I reached the break second and the chip leader was first. He was UTG and open raised 7x or so BB. I had AQ and 'knew' I was ahead so I went over the top and he called with K10. He paired the 10, won the hand and won the tournie. Naturally, I was annoyed (calling for almost all your chips with K10o???) but I realised that to fold meant that he would be doing no more blind stealing for a while, that he wouldn't be chip leader anymore etc. etc. so I was the fool to put him to a decision for all his chips without an absolute monster.

you could post this hand in a new thread if you want, but
a) you should have pushed and
b) you should be happy when he calls as a significant dog
