An all in move probably wouldn't have changed much. It seems like your opponent fell in love with their high pocket pair. Nice attempt though.

Give up after the flop. On that sort of drawless flop there's precious little that he's calling a bet with that he's going to subsequently fold. He has some sort of made hand, it's a $5 donkament, he's not going anywhere.

Yeah, I think this time for a change (lol) DM is right, you should have given up after the flop bet, for him to call he has to have something. Its too bad you didn't really have an A, I'm pretty sure he calls with his queens if you small bet (like 2.5k/3k) the river. I'm actually surprised he called the turn, even if the bet is smallish compared to pot, its only 1/3 of it. This guy must be a calling station, I don't see how he can call the turn based on reads, that's BS to me.

Would he fold if you had bet more/all-in on the turn? Maybe, who knows, but he has you covered, how can you possibly risk it after he called the flop bet? He called your PF raise and flop bet, it almost looks like he has an A. Its not like you know he has QQ. In cases like this I think its best to give it up after the flop because you get that feeling he really is not going anywhere and he'll call you down. I can tell you this if it makes you feel better, your play would have worked against me. After you fired the 2nd time I'm sure I'd fold, min bet or not. Here it didn't work but I wouldn't think too much about it.

Apparently he was in love with his QQ as much as some people love Ax. Either that, or he had some read on you that led him to believe you might be a) bluffing, or b) c-betting. Sometimes you can fire the third bullet and they'll go away, but this is a tourney and he has you outchipped.

Probably better to make this play against a medium stack. A short stack would be willing to push Ax/big pairs, the chip leader is willing to go further. (Edit: I meant, you didn't have a choice since he was betting after you, but once to the flop, better not to continue this play since he is the chip leader)

One other thing; if you were holding AK/AQ/AJ, is that what you would have bet at the turn? It looks like you're losing some steam, in which case better to just check/fold.
