Is there anything I could\'ve done to avoid this?
Pokerstars $500+30 NL tourney, blinds are 15-30, I have 2350 in chips. I limp in utg with AdAc. Guy next to me raises minimum to 60, guy after that reraises to 120. Pass around me, I think about it and make it 600 to go. Yes this is a huge overbet but given the way the guy next to me has been playing I figure its the only way to get heads up. Also it may cause the reraiser to go all in. To my surprise the 1st raiser calls and the reraiser folds. Pot is now 1365. Flop comes QsAs6s. I have 3 aces but I'm not messing around, all in for 1750. I get called immediately. Guy turns over 10s10d. He has 1 spade. Of course it hits and I don't fill up. While I question how this chimp even learned how to use a computer, I wonder if there was any way to avoid this (no so close) gamble. Maybe if I had made it 400 to go instead of 600 maybe his pot odds would've been worse and my all in larger. Any ideas?
