Where Did I Go Wrong?

[Rushmore]

Stars $615 Bahamas satellite. Top 11 get the $12K trip and seat, next ten get their money back. 225 players start the thing.

Down to 70. Average stack is 7K. Blinds are 100/200. I have ~10K in the BB with AQs.

Lagish MP open pushes allin for 2K. Table maniac/bully/big stack smooth calls from the button.

Item #1.: I call.

Flop comes down 2/T/Q rainbow.

Item #2: I check.

Button pushes. As I said, he has me covered.

Item #3: I call.

Sigh.

Three items, three mistakes?
