Party $5+1 R&A: TT ITM with big stacks, villain covers me.

I just played my first ever rebuy-tournament, and maybe the fifth multi in my life, so I'm a total noob concerning the metagame and stuff like that. I did play 50+5 sng's for a living last summer though, until I "quit poker" it to study music this autumn. But sng's are a whole different ballgame, of course.

I was somewhat lost playing this hand. I felt like I should fold preflop, but couldn't do it with the stupid pot odds, my nice hand and the possibility that I was just getting restealed. Looking back at the hand now, I think maybe I should've. It seems to me that the average fish (I don't have any useful reads here [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ) rarely reraises without something really good. He did have the stack to bully me and my raise was very stealish, but fish like to call, not raise, when they smell weakness, don't they?

I raised all-in on the flop, the converter made some mistake.
