First, let me say that I have been reading these posts on 2+2 for two years and it has definitely improved my game, so thank you for generally good advice. I played 4 tournaments in Vegas this weekend and cashed in two. Good time.
So, here's the hand I want feedback on.
WSOP Event #31 -- Seniors. Level 8 (300/600+50). Hero just moved to this table in Amazon room with stack of 35,000. 975 players left from field of 5400, with money bubble at ~800. I come to the new table as the chip leader and the table is very tight. Second hand (end of level 7) I have AA and make standard raise in early position and all fold. Two hands later I have 99 in middle position and make same standard raise and all fold. Nobody at the table is very active, and I'm feeling really good about being at this table with a big stack.
Early in level 8, I again have AA UTG. I make standard raise to 1500, which gives away nothing about my hand strength. This time player on my left with ~22,000 chips calls as does BB. Flop is 10
-10
-7
. I check. Villain on my left bets 1750. BB folds. I call. (No reason to three-bet here and scare off villain if he has something like A-7, JJ, or overcards, right?)
Turn is 4
and puts two clubs on the board. I check with the plan of check-raising a continuation bet. Villain bets 3000 and I raise to 7000. Villain then shoves all-in, leaving me to make a decision to call or fold for an additional 9850 into pot of ~35000.
How bad is this turn raise?
Now that I've put myself in this awful position, is it an easy fold?
Thanks in advance for criticism.
