It was the way it should be...

[Al Mirpuri]

I made the money...considerable as it was...I busted out sixth: the hand played like this, I was under the gun and raised T$60,000 with QQ, the blinds were T$10,000 and T$20,000 and the big blind was the only caller. The flop came QKxr and I put in the rest of my stack T$47,000. The big blind had called with JTs and now felt he had pot odds for his draw and called; the turn was a blank but the river was an Ace. That was me done for...

Two questions:
1. Should I have put all my T$107,000 in preflop? I was afraid of an Ace or King flopping so I did not but this gave the big blind the odds to call.

2. Should I have checked behind the big blind and have him bluff the turn or alternatively I would move in on my own accord on the turn when he would have been 4-1 against making his draw? Is this just a post hoc rationalization brought on by hindsight?.. This assumes that if he had made his straight on the turn I would have been able to release my hand but I doubt it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
