This is a PP 30+3 tourney with 577 entrants.

Ok there are 12 players left and I am 2nd in chips. Cheap leader is the dealer and raises me (i am big blind). i call. After the flop I had an open ended straight draw and a flush draw, i bet and he raises me all in. He has tried to bully everyone alot here, so I called. turns out he had TPTK and i don't hit. So i go out in 12th. I was trying to win the tourney not just make the final table.

So i guess what I am wondering is should my strategy have been to just wait for something better and stay in until the final table, or try to give myself that commanding chip lead so I had a better chance to win the tournament? Did i get too greedy?

Yes. Probably.

What did you call his preflop bet with?

I had 67d, i was sure he didnt have a pp though. I can't find the hh for it unfortunately. So but yeah he had A10o. Unfortuantely i though he was just majorly bluffing. Bad read. I just was completely trusting me read, i thought he had two overs and if that was the case i was favored, because then i would have had alot of outs.

sorry forgot to post that flop was 5d 8d 10c

You were a 54% favorite I think (or pretty close)... Do you want to continue to play, do you feel confortable with your play to win without that 50% (or so...) of doubling or loosing.

By the way, even if he was bluffing with Ax or any cards, you needed to hit your flush or your straight to win so it's not a point here. If he bluffs, you can call with mifddle and bottom pair and be ahead but you needed to catch a card to win even with a bluff.

Nice tourney anyway.

only thing i don't like about that is that i don't like to tangle with the chip leader too much when i also have a big stack. A coinflip for all of someone else's chips is fine, but one for all MY chips I like a lot less.
