So I was platina a live small buy in tournament. I had lost two big pots (played badly, I consider these two banda the reason for my elimination), and was left with 10 bb, in the 500/1000/100 level.
The vilain had got recently to my table and started raising every hand for the past four times, with a 2.5x raise. In the SB, I was dealt AQo. There was a limper in MP and the vilain in the button raises 4.5x. The action came to me in the SB and I start thinking. I was in a delicate position in the tournament and was waiting for a chance to shove. This guy had started playing very loose, and his stack as just above 20bb. He had raised four times, and this was a huge raise. It seemed to me he was trying to force the limper out and steal the blinds. But I knew that if I shoved, he would pay the extra 6K and try knocking me out. Still, I didnt put him in a big hand as AA, KK or AKs, cause if so, he would want to play post-flop for value. So, he could have a pocket pair like 88, 99, TT or even JJ, and hands like ATs or AJs. So I decided to shove hoping for a coin-flip.
The limper folds and he instantly calls with AKo, knocking me out os the tournament.
I still believe the shove was at least a good move with my 10bb and the pressure rising in the 7-handed table I found myself. But my question is about the reading. Was it so wrong to think the way I did, not feeling this big raise as a display of a powerfull hand?
Thank you all!
