Default (my) Over-re-raise prices me into a call. your opinon please.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t2000 (7 handed) converter

SB (t25395)
BB (t38069)
UTG (t80073)
MP1 (t57221)
Hero (t106625)
CO (t83289)
Button (t26318)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t8000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t16000</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t8000.

Flop: (t32500) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t14000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t30000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t67189</font>, Hero calls t37189.

Turn: (t166878) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t166878) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t166878

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Kc Ts (two pair, tens and sixes).
CO has Ad Ah (two pair, aces and sixes).
Outcome: CO wins t166878. </font>


So here's the thing. When he re-raised me, I had the strong feeling he had an overpair. To that point, I thought he might have been on a strong draw and wasn't going to let me dictate play (I'd been chipleader for some time and was pressing the field). Figured it was highly unlikely he had either the 10 or a 6.

When he pushed, I was presented with call 37,000 or fold. fold, my stack stays around 60,000 which was probably about the avg. However, the call was 37,000 to win a total pot of T$167,000. That's over 4:1. Even thought I knew it's likely I was beat, I felt I had to call and hope I either wasn't or spiked my 2 outer.

your opinions please.

i dont like the call pre-flop, dont like the check-raise on the flop either

i seriously just toss this pre. youre definitely dominated, 40/60, or a big dog.

The more I think about it, the more I realize you're right. I got caught with a marginal hand that hit just well enough I couldn't get away from it. I know the final call was right. MAYBE the re-raise had some merit...
But I never should have been in the hand in the first place. I should have folded when I got pushback.
