My read on this guy wasn't that great...he hadn't been at the table too long. I thought for a while after the reraise and figured that the only hand that really made since (other then playing a small PP and hitting trips) was a mid PP...Is this thinking correct?

A re-raise and call your all-in - have to figure a pocket pair probably 10 or higher but once you're all-in it's really academic anyway.

this a typo?
bb = 50, bunch of limpers for t100, and you only raise to 250?

you realy gotta jack this up to 400. a t150 raise will do nothing, just build the pot up.

I'm asking for comments because I just finished HoH...I'm not sure if I'm using the information correctly. Since I'm trying to improve my tournament game, I'll be posting HHs for comments, both when I win and when I lose...

The amount of the raise was picked because I wanted a caller or two...but wanted to chase out the junk...I figured if I went much higher, everybody would fold and I wouldn't make anymore money...

I had put him on PPs (I actually put him on 99 or TT, but was happy with the JJ)...I concider 88-JJ to be midPP is this correct?

All those guys allready called one raise... it's not the same as if the pot was limped around. I would seriously consider pushing with that many calls in the pot allready.
