Middle stages of the tournament $0.50 buy in $400 GTD at 888. About 250 players left.
I was doing fine with about 30k stack. 500/250 blinds. (around 35th)
Was on the BB with pocket Q's.
UTG (loose player) calls, UTG+1 calls. Lo jack raises to 6BBs. (42k stack) I call. UTG call. UTG+1 folds.
The flop comes A Q 9
So I'm with a set. Trying to bait the loose player I check. UTG also checks.
Lo jack raises to 5.6k. I call. UTG folds.
Turn - 9
L/J again raises about 5.6k. I re-raise 12k. He calls.
River - 8
So I'm with a full house and the only hands that would've beaten me are pocket A's or 9's.
So pot is around 40k. I was left with 9k. Went all in. He calls and shows aces.
I kind of felt like he hand a strong hand but thinking he would've bet more aggressively with aces, and considering my odds unfortunately got busted
What should I've done differently to play my hand?
I feel like I should've 3 bet him pre flop.
