How much is too much to call with an AA overpair?

[sloth469]

So do you see how stronger preflop and flop bets would have saved you or are you going to take a defensive posture? This early in a tourney it is much better to over play your hand then to under play it and that's all there is to it.

I am glad you didn't fold the river, that is the one thing I can see you may have done right.

I dont mean to nitpick, but, I dont like raising to 7 BBs after one limper, thats a good way to get the minimum out of your AA. I would raise more than 3BBs though, 80 or 100 should do it.

You're wrong. This early in the tourney at least one if not both of them will come along for 140 almost as often as they do 80. Think about preflop action at this level this is not uncommon in the least. I'll often make my open raise 5 BBs at this stage and I don't see a significant drop off in my action compared to the guy who opens for 60.

Maui, I'm not gonna berate you cuz that's already happened plenty. I'm gonna say this. Your thinking of why you would fold the river is very good thinking if this is a huge buyin, deep stack tourney. This, however, is a small buyin, short money tournament and there's pretty much no way you should have to make this river decision. You should make it 250 or so on the flop and hope he calls you with 67 or K7 or AT, or TJ or whatever. If he gets there, so be it, at least you made him pay. GL in the future.
