Default Bad Beat or Bad Play?

I was in a live tournament which was $65 buy in with rebuys for 3 rounds and one add on after the 3rd round. We were in the 6th round with blinds 500-1000. I am in cut off postion. UTG opens to 2500 ( I had a read on him to be frustrated, he had not been able to play many hands and I took his bet as to be weak. weak ace or small PP.) It gets folded to me with good ole' AKd. I have 10x the big blind so I decide to go all in. He thinks about it and calls. He had me covered for 2000. Sure enough he turns over 8's. The flop comes A75 rainbow, turn 4, river 8. My question is should I have just called and seen the flop or was it a good move to go all in. I probably could have gotten him to fold when the ace showed up, but he also couldve pushed all in UTG trying to bluff and i would have to call and still lose. But I could have also folded and picked a better place for ak. Bad Beat or Bad Play?

Default Re: Bad Beat or Bad Play?

If the 8 came on the river, would you have posted this hand?

For future reference, if you want to look at a hand objectively, don't post what comes after the money gets in. If you get all-in preflop, say w/ what cards and ask if its right. There is no need to explain what happened after you have no control.

Also, you said you could have gotten 88 to fold on the A75 flop. Why in the hell would you want someone to fold a 2-outer to you...

Think before you post. Don't try to mask bad beat stories. No one wants to hear them.
