Preflop:
Gotta reraise preflop to send a message that he can not steal your blinds.

As played flop 3-bet is mandatory

If you reraise preflop, what is your plan if villain pushes?

I set the worlds record for quickest all in call

I agree that calling the all-in PF is fairly standard here.

Let's say I made the correct move and re-raised to t3500-t4500, showing my seriousness about this hand. Villain pushes all-in. I believe I am forced to fold. Perhaps this is a leak in my game, but I cannot imagine my opponent having anything less than KTs, including all PPs, KJs, AT+. So, the only hands I truly dominate are AT, AJ, and KQ. Can this call possibly be +EV??

Villain was aggressive but not maniacal. If he turns over 77, I believe this call looks terrible, win or lose.

Do I want to risk my entire stack on one hand with AQo?

i agree, i think if you repop it pf and he shoves you don't have to call and it certainly isn't "standard." given your read though, it may be +EV if you think he is jamming it here with a fairly wide range. it's not a horrible fold though.

as played, i think you are going broke on this flop. you have two jam it with top two and this board, esp with your read on this villain. you flopped a monster and he flopped the nuts, don't sweat it that's poker.

so, wait, are you sayign villain is dontbluffmeplzzz?

Remarkably, the Villain in this case was Dontbluffmeplzz. The funny part of this is that in my original post, I mention how I did try to bluff him once early in the tourney. Even before he raised all-in, my buddy who was watching me play exclaimed, "Cliffy, did you even see his name?" and then BOOM! All-in. I got a good laugh out of that.

I looked him up on PokerDB, and his FT tourney results were nothing special (mine are non-existant, as I don't play on FT much). Has anyone heard of him before Sunday?

When the big hand occurred, we were both about 60-70th out of the remaining 650 players. After the hand, he was in 2nd.

I turned my computer off after that, and I checked late night just to see how he (and the pro at my table) did. And there he was, three-handed, the chip leader with t4.4M. No doubt my stomach turned...First was a beautiful payday. Congrats to him for turning my chips into $150k.
