Default Big Hand between two monster stacks.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG (t19248)
Hero (t40379)
MP1 (t23883)
MP2 (t18506)

Hero bets t3600</font>,Button raises to t7200, Hero raises to t36704, Button calls t29504.

River: (t83083) 4 (2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t83083

The raise pre-flop was because I had double the chips of anyone else at the table (except the guy that called).
The check on the flop was because I wanted to trap him, since I felt my top pair was good enough, also trying to gauge if my opponent had a strong hand or not.
The turn bet was to get action. When he raised, I immediately thought he had AQ or KQ and decided to go all-in. I didn't think long, which was a mistake. The mistake was not thinking harder on the decision, although I am not sure, going all-in is a mistake there. If he has AQ or KQ he calls me and I go to first place in chips, and I only call I don't win as much chips as I could have. I think AQ, KQ are more likely hands than 88, 66, QQ, TT, 9J. He could also have been raising because of a club draw or even a straight draw. My play seems very risky, but I am not sure it is a mistake, a second after I got called I thought I made a mistake, but after analyzing it more I am not so sure.
