I completely understand where you are coming from. I probably would've done the same if it weren't for HOH2.

My read on the Villian was that he was stealing a lot of pots with big bets on the flop and later streets. He was basically playing the big stack very well, but almost surely was stealing his fair share of pots. To this point, he had met little resistance, and the weak table continually folded to his raises. I felt that he was vulnerable to get cocky and lose a big pot somewhere down the line.

Since it folded to me, this is purely a heads-up situation in my mind. I have 3:1 pot odds on completing the blind. My hand is roughly 50% to win against any random two cards. So, without any raising, I have the proper odds to call, right (that is the HOH2 influence)? My intention was to call and hopefully see a cheap flop. If the Villian had min raised t200 more, I would've called that too (as I would still have the odds with plenty of chips left over). If he had raised more than that, I would've folded and given up the extra t100 I had put into the pot. This part of my play is weak. I realize that this is a weak way to enter the hand, but to be honest, I did not have the cojones to raise against the huge stack preflop with a Q5. Against a smaller stack, I might look at it differently.

Ultimately, I did fold this hand to the Villian's t2400 reraise. However, a part of me really thought that I might of had him beat, and it took me a while to actually make the decision to fold. I guess I should do the math on this one. Of course, he could of had me beat with 66+, 2 pair, or a straight, but he could have just as easily been stealing with a flush draw, straight draw, lower pair, or 2 overcards.

I was in pretty good chip position at the time, but in order to win this tournament I need to get a lot more chips, and I feel that there are times when weird hands like this can turn into a big tourney win.

In the future, should I just play scared of the big stack in these sort of heads up situations without premium cards and fold preflop?
