Default Re: too slow play for aces? $20 180 players sit&go

You should of min reraised at least, pre. Your giving the blinds odds to stay around & CO wasn't going to fold after betting 4x.
Flop is somewhat scary w/ real possibilities of Flush, str8t/str8tflush all on draws... Flop call was mistake, raise to take the pot or give draws wrong odds to continue ..
Pot on flop was what, about 570 or so to you, you should have reraised to 525 - 600 on flop ...

Yeh, the guy raised 4xBB from CO. If you push, he probably thinks he is ahead. Anyway, he probably calls a standard preflop reraise.

The flat call is OK in later stages of the tournament at higher buyin, but then the raiser may view a reraise as a resteal.

To the OP: please take no offense to the following lines, as we've all made similiar mistakes.

This hand should be a sticky, because it's the perfect real world example of why not to slowplay big hands, but not the nuts.

This hand was nightmare after nightmare for you, and your decisions compounded it.
