Default 6th Hand - Should I have slowed down?

6th hand of a $20 MTT. Obviously don't have a read. I am mainly worried about how I played the turn. Should I have just called his turn / river bets instead of raising and reraising AI? The more I look at it, the more I think I overplayed the hand, but how standard is it?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG+1 (t2980)
MP1 (t3020)
MP2 (t3000)
MP3 (t3080)
CO (t2940)
Hero (t3320)
SB (t2980)
BB (t2680)
UTG (t3000)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, SB calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t140) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, SB calls t100.

Turn: (t340) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t100</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t360</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t780</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3160</font>...

Final Pot: t5980

I'm assuming he had JT and you didn't fill up on the river.

He could just as easily have 77-99 as JT, and you are ahead of everything except 56/T6/JT. I never feel bad if I get my chips in here.

Flop bet standard, 4bet shove standard.

it is early but if ur not goin to put it in wit a set then where do u plan on getn it in. With the villains line he could easily have 77-99 as an earlier poster said.

I just dont think u can fold this hand here if hes got j10 u ran into some bad luck and just a crazy turn that killed u. I might be able to get away if it turned into a raisin fest on the flop but after the queen ball turn im not foldin.

Does anyone else see a possibility of a slowplayed kk or aa?

Meh. I dunno. I don't hate shoving the turn, but I also don't hate calling the turn planning to call any bet on any J/T/6 river, and most bets then, too. If the board pairs, I'm raising, obviously. This early in the tournament, though, T2000 is still plenty of chips, and even after a biggish river bet, T1000 still leaves you with an M of 33 or so. Why overplay? The value in making sure you don't go broke is worth more than doubling up this early.

This is definitely what I was thinking was my other option(s). The way he played the other streets made me think that if I just called the turn, I would have gotten away with a cheap call to his value bet on the river.

He had JT, obv .. .and the river didnt boat me

I might raise to 80 or 100 preflop since the stacks are so deep.

Otherwise totally standard. I go broke here even if I don't turn the set.
