Default Did I make the right play? Stars $3.30 MTT

No reads on any oppenents yet, just back from break, new to table...roughly 40 away from bubble, top 200 pays sitting at about 130th. Wake up to AA and feel like its time for another bad beat and 2 outter to come. Flop was scary but I had a feeling he had either Ak,AQ, or 10s and still good, Should I have pushed flop to maybe try and scare off hand or was he calling to the end anyway? Villian had AQ in fact and hits 2 outter on river for boat over top 2 pair...all I was thinking was "no Q no Q" and BAM

A. Please proof read your posts before sending them off. This is a mess, and I can't see the stack sizes.

[/ QUOTE ]Stop thinking like this. You actually create bad beats this way. Take time off and focus on positive thinking. I'm serious, you're ruining your own chances this way.

C. Don't (ever) min-raise the flop when there's a gazillion draws out there.

Set converter to 2+2 and include stack sizes. I would make a larger reraise on the flop, rather than the donk miniraise. You could also flat call, but I am a little worried about draws.

If villain had a JJ so be it.

Yeah, include stack sizes. It looks like you only have ~5600 left on the flop so the minraise was more than 1/3 of your stack. Just shove the flop.
