In a tournament I was in I was the BB, the blinds were 50-100, within the first fifteen minutes of it starting. I look down and see AA. First person to act raises 200, person two to her left calls, I raise 200, she raises 200 other person calls, I raise 400 they both call. flop comes 566. I take a secondto read my opponents and Some some uncomfortableness in the person to my left and saw the other person going back and forth looking at me and looking away.Conditional probability comes to mind as I ponder what is the possibility that someone has pocket fives or sixes. Or what would the possibility someone calls all that pre-flop action this early in a tournament with something and a six. I go all in. She folds and the other person calls, but he has about half as many chips as I do. We turn over our cards and he has Q6 off. The lady that folded said she had pocket kings. My brain screamed how in the f%^& does someone call all that stuff pre-flop with that? Then he breaks out with a line that I have seen cost a lot of people their chips pre-flop "i need to get going so I was putting my chips in", what I mean is that people that do what they can to help the other person out get suckered into bad bets. Turn comes a blank and the river is a king.Now, I understand it is hard to shake people off instinct and get them to throw something away. But if one really has to go then get up and leave. Shiyat. Let the blinds take your chips.

Well, let's see... Someone raise 2xBB with KK and get called. Then you raise a minimum 200 with your aces in a 650 pot, and you're complaining that they got cracked by the junk hand that had already limped 200 in and only had to add 200 to take his chances at a 1000+ pot which got min raised again and again, same cause same effect ? Next time, don't min raise with aces.Then you go all in early in the tournament with only a pair, on a paired & somewhat coordinated board. Sure, Q6 with this succession of raises was unlikely, but 55, 66, A6/56/67/78/46/68 suited were possibilities you had to consider.

as bad as the guy with Q6 played the hand, you managed to play it worse. Mini raises accomplish nothing except fattening the pot. If he already put in 200 he would be an idiot to fold to 200 more.and it sounds like the tourney structure sucks, I wouldn't even play in that tourney. what were the starting chip stacks?

The beginning stacks were like 4000 in chips. Had the Q6 off player had pocket sixes or fives I could have better understood hanging in. I would love to play that hand pre flop to river with that person 1000 times for $1000 bucks a go and see who ends up with the most money in the end. Yes, there were a lot of hands that could have been there but if I were to say where my weakness was it was giving my opponent more respect than he deserved for starting hand selection.I am getting away from the tourneys and am putting together some non nervous money to start playing in some ring games come the new year.

This is not the problem. If you keep min raising with Aces, you'll never win as much with those as you should. Given how you play post flop afterwards, you'll probably manage to lose with them in the long run.Against one fish holding Q6o, you'll win more than you share, but against the 5 or 6 fish you will have let see the flop all with different holdings, you'll lose more than 50% of the time.You let Q9s & 22 go in by min raising your aces, flop Q92 rainbow, you push, you lose, multiply by 100s of different examples.

Yes, there were a lot of hands that could have been there but if I were to say where my weakness was it was giving my opponent more respect than he deserved for starting hand selection.

No, your weakness was min reraising 2xBB with aces when there was already 600 in the pot. Moreover, most of the hands I cited would have been acceptable hand selection considering how the preflop play went. You have odds to call each one of the min raises with those hands...

If you play aces the same way in cash games, you'll eventually go broke.
