Default 5+1 on PP

Hi, first time posting a hand.

This was when there were about 200 people left, Chip leader had about 20k and i was in the top 20 in chips. The guy i was going against was pretty loose aggressive. I know i shouldn't go against chip leaders, but i thought i had him beat. guess not :P Any suggestions? maybe realize somethings up with the flop call?

thanks for your time.

I think you played TT too aggressively. I would flat call the miniraise. Mainly you want to flop a set. I would usually open raise with TT, but I wouldn't reraise.

After the flop, you have 2 people who called a reraise. Could one of them have QQ or JJ? If they had KK or AA, they probably would have reraised. You may have been right to gamble and play it as you did postflop, but it is a dangerous situation.

I don't like your reraise preflop, not that I don't think there is times when this is right, I just think it was a weak reraise. Either make it T2500 or Flat call or fold. the weak reraise really gave you no real info on the holdings of the two callers and had no folding equity to it. Think about before you put a raise in what your purpose is with that raise, #1 to get players to fold hands that beat you #2 to build a pot when you clearly have the best hand. #3 to get a read at where you are at in the hand. I don't think this raise accomplished any of these.

The flop bet was alittle small again I would have mabey bumped it up to T3500, and if called hope to check it down. with the call of T2500, I would figure that this guy is either slow playing a monster or can't let loose of AK. Either way I am not sure If I want to invested any more chips on that brick turn.

I would like to here from the better players on here if my line is right, or way off. But that is MHO.
