Poxy Luton Sundays. Came 11th for diddly squat, AQ being the hand of my tournament highs and lows. After winning 2 pissing and one KK v A3 contest/ts 3 tables out i got up to the safe hights of 40k. 412k in play so i reasoned i wanted (ideally) 70k for the final. With blinds @ 600 1200 i made mistake no.1
Only the blinds in the hand i raise it up to 3.6k to play with AQ sooooooooooted. Now tightish player wants to shove for 14k total. I deliberate as he is a pure rock and end up calling. Im up against the boots, marvellous.
I then win an all-in from the blinds war v Tracey Dell with AQ (i had her well covered) v 66 and get back up again. Then i lose a pot (that got bigger than it should have) with 10h9h on a 1074,Q board v Jim Mcbride. Must learn to control pot sizes much better when i dont have the nuts.

Then this hand, which im still unsure about. Holding AQspades i raise to 7k in the cutoff (blinds 1/2k my stack 28k before raise). Then loose/weak player shoves for all his chips. Should i pass?

He previously showed down KQs in a showdown. The problem is, THIS time, you can tell he likes his hand. You probe and ask him if he has a big pair, to which he instantly replies "not that big". I ended up thinking there was 40k to win and i only had 20 held back so called. He had QQ and perhaps it was a poor call. Thats what im thinking now.

Thailand in a couple of weeks although id much rather be at the Luton fessies, i reckon im running well enough to go deep if i had the chance. Moneys drying up now, lets hope the 24h VC crusade this evening goes well.
