Am I playing scared here?

[ericlambi]

I am always afraid of getting sucked out with big PPs:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) converter

UCMBA07 (t2205)
SB (t955)
BB (t1885)
UTG (t935)
UTG+1 (t1310)
MP1 (t535)
MP2 (t530)
MP3 (t650)
CO (t995)

Preflop: UCMBA07 is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t100</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UCMBA07 raises to t300</font>, SB folds, BB calls t250, CO folds.

Flop: (t725) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, UCMBA raises all-in, BB folds.

Final Pot: t725

Looks fine to me.

This kind of fear in small quantities is a good thing. The pot is big enough to be worth taking right now, and you really don't want him hitting a mystery set or straight on the cheap.

Why risk losing a stack this huge when you can just add bits onto it for the next 20 minutes [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Your play looks ok to me. On the flop i would say you definatley have the best hand not many people would play A 2 or 6 7 or even real small pocket pairs like 3 4 5 with the kind of raising that was goin on. Depending on how I would play this would depend on the opponents. Instead of goin all in i probably would have raised to about 2/3 the size of the pot.
