It might have ?

I was not going to fold my hand. I made the standard raise to increase the chances of someone with a worse hand giving me action. I actually got exactly what I wanted in this particular instance (until the river card came, that is).

Could you please explain the flaw in my reasoning?

yes we all know you are an english major. bravo. fyi no one cares

this is a standard push. doing anything else is just silly since you have a good hand in this situation and the blinds are great relative to your stack. there is no reason for you to do anythign else

Well FYI, you're an english major. I think that is awesome. There are so many people that play poker now that you can't even talk to because they KNOW everything! I appreciate the story. I actually hate bad beat stories, that's why I never talk about them myself. But I found some humor in this. Good story.

I know that getting beat by AJ while holding AQ is not that big of deal. But after that flop it is highly unlikely. Apparently all the pro's reading this get sucked out on all the time. I guess that's the story of everyone's life. "Oh I'm a good player, I just get sucked out on." I don't know how many times I have heard that. I thought it was an excellent move. Only having 975 left, you know that you are moving all-in no matter what. But you don't want to shove right away just to have everyone fold and you pick up 200 or so chips and then you're still in the same situation you were in before. Trying to pick out another hand to move all-in with. You wanted action, you got action, it was just unfortunate that it turned out the way that it did.

Good story, and goodluck in the future.
