AA cracked on hand #2

[ChuckyB]

I'd love your thoughts/insults (they are deserved) on this play. I probably should have gone all-in on the flop. How bad is this?

I'd send you $2 but I peed away my $6 playing aces like a moron. I don't wanna hafta ask my mommy for more

There is at least a little insight to make on this bad beat post. In low level SnGs I raise to 100 level 1. I definitely push the flop... If he calls he is a moron and you will profit in the long run off of these people.

[ChuckyB]

7x BB isn't too much? I do want the call...for the reasons you mentioned. My standard is 4xBB +1 for each caller.

[jgunnip]

I agree. 75 was prefectly fine here.

anyway, bad beats are fun and are very +EV in the long run. Be happy and start up a new tournament.

I think that is overdoing it. I play in the $22s and there are plenty of bad players there, but even they will get scared by overbetting. My standard raise is to 75 in level one and 100-125 in level 2 (depending on how bad I think the blinds are).

Fold pre-flop so that you won't have to write a bad beat post.
