Default 2.25 tourney, is this FPS?

Full Tilt Poker (8 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>1800, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>to 3200, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>3850, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises 10002 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot:


This is a weak player with like a 7% ITM and a -57% ROI. I have played pretty straight forward, stealing a lot but only showing down monsters. Is this a good play that just didn't work out or is this just plain stupid?

I think this is a bad spot, which I find myself getting into a lot in bubble time.

You didn't say what was villain's stack, btw.
I'm guessing the blinds are 3/600/50

There are a few problems I see here:
1. You are def giving him the odds to call you PF and in a 2$ trny without a read I wouldn't tend to give villain here credit for understanding the strength you are showing.

2. Your goal in this move is to make villain fold, so you need to raise more PF IMO. I think you get the most FE if you shove (that is if your stack are about the same).

3. With M of 10, I would wait for a better spot to shove over LP raiser and not EP.

The re-raise amount is terrible and the flop looks like a CB. 20BBs seems like an awkward stack size to be re-raising preflop with A10. With 7k in the pot and only 10k left behind, if you're going with this on the flop it probably has to be a push(which he is calling pretty wide) but I don't like any of the hand. If you really wanna play this, you have position and can call pre and see a flop. That way, if he leads with an emtpy looking CB you can push over him or fold while not spewing as many chips.

Too many useless stats and not enough relevant ones.

Who cares about In the Money and ROI, it has nothing to do with the hand!

What are the stack sizes? How many people left? Are we in the money?

All in all, our reraise was a disaster; raise like you mean it next time; even a Push is OK here.

The mini reraise means either "I have AA, or I don't really know why I'm reraising here"
