It's times like this when it's good to have a read on your opponent. With no such information assume he is a standard donkey and push.

Well, I think you instigated his raise by betting less that you raised PF on the flop. If you had bet more on the flop and he raised/pushed, you might have to consider laying down AA (this is deepstacks here people!). Not ur normal 50BB tourney.

Anyhow, given the predicament you've got yourself in, I think you have to push and if he has JJ, oh well.

FYI a pot sized raise on villain's part is to 3,350. Most bad players just raise 3x your bet, but his raise isn't large by any means.

[derail]Just since betting/raising is still a work in progress for me, I'd like if you could clarify that remark. Is it that people who raise 3x a bet are bad players, or that bad players usually use that amount? Unless pot odds (or reads) dictate otherwise, my standard raise is 3-4 times the bettor's bet.[/derail]

As for the Aces on that board, I can't find a fold.

the only hand beating you is JJJ. the fact that you led too small on the flop (id probably have led for 11-1200) combined with the times you see QQ/KK here make this a shove for me. i think you see the qq/kk a ton here the way its being played

I'd put him on a high pair or AK based on preflop action. The likelihood that you're against KK or QQ is just too good here. Time to push.

Unlikely they have KK or QQ w/ that PF action, more likely is JJ, another set, QJ+ w/ clubs, or AJ.

Just push and hope villain has top pair or a draw.

The small preflop raise to entice a call with a big pair may be OK in some situations. In a deep stack tournament, you don't want to let someone is cheaply to draw to stack you. Plus it is important that villain doesn't know you have AA.
