Default need help with a hand

Ok, I know I'm going to get bitched at for this but my computer that I played the hands on I cant get it to open any of the hand history converts or my email to send it to myself so I will reconstruct the hand to the best of my ability. Unfortunetly the computer this stuff is on isnt good for much else than playing poker and datamining

Anyways here is the hand

$5.50 Full tilt SnG 80/160 Blinds table is 4 handed

Button has 3480
SB has 4340
BB has 2520
I have 3160

I'm UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I raise to 320 button and SB fold BB calls 160

Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB Bets 160, I call

Turn is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

BB Bets 160, I call

River is A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

About the topic title:
Nearly everybody that makes a topic with a HH wants help/advice, so it is not very helpful.
It is better to put some info about the SNG + hand in the title, like the buy-in, your hand, the stage and opponent playing style.
At least you should put the buy-in in the topic.

Preflop:
I think the way you should play ATs is read dependent here.
I think if you are going to raise you should raise more, like 400-450.

Flop:
He min bets 160 into a 720 pot and I am not sure what that means.
He could be slow playing a good made hand, like AK AQ AQ, trips, 2 pair, he could be trying to steal the pot or he could be 'value betting' a weaker hand like 8x or Qx.
Also there is a flush draw on board.
I would reraise him here to know where we stand and not to give him the odds for chasing the draw.
The pot is now 880 and I would reraise about 500.

River:
You made trip aces and I would instacall this.
The odds of him having the other ace or a made full house are very low and if he has >AJ he has been playing very passive and I would pay him, also you still beat AX<AT.

so, when he turned over Ak, it was just bad luck for me?

Also, thanks for the help with the title, I'm new here but will do that in the future. BTW, could everyone follow the hand OK w/o the converter?

play turbos and you'll rarely ever be in this spot with the blinds so low - the all in push/call will hurt less.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
