I was playin a $2dollar no limit tourney on poker stars... Blinds are 200/400. I have 9000 chips and im on the button with A7s. Chip leader with 30,000 chips bets and i call.
3 people see the flop. 374... First player checks, 2nd player bets 400, and i call. Turn is A. Giving me 2 pair. first player checks, 2nd playe checks .. I bet 1000...First player folds, 2nd calls. River is J Chip leader pushes me All-in 8400 chips... I call thinking he has J7 or some 2 pair... He shows Pocket JJ... to give him a set to my 2 pair.
Could i play this any different?

So, there was about 1600 in the pot preflop (including the antes), and 2800 after the flop betting?

1000 is way too small a turn bet. Most of the time, you want to win the pot now in NL tournaments. It's OK to slowplay a MONSTER, but 2 pair ain't it.

Here, if a 3 or 4 hits, u worry about trips. If a 2, 5 or 6 hits, u worry about a straight. If a random card hits, u worry about someone making a set. U don't mention flush draws, but if there was a 2 flush, that's even more to worry about.

Bet at least the pot on the turn. Represent the ace. If someone puts you on a bluff or has a bigger ace that hasn't paired, chances are you'll get paid off. If not, you win the pot without a fight.
