    Default Too aggressive on the turn?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (6 handed)

    The fish on the button never had a good starting hand requirement..

    Did i play this hand correctly?

    CO (t1420)
    Button (t1130)
    Hero (t2030)
    BB (t1330)
    UTG (t1360)
    MP (t1730)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, Q.
    UTG raises to t40, 2 folds, Button calls t40, Hero calls t30, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t140) 2, J, Q (3 players)
    Hero bets t80, UTG folds, Button calls t80.

    Turn: (t300) A (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets t80, Hero raises to t260, Button raises to t440, Hero raises to t1910, Button calls t570 (All-In).

    River: (t3220) K (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t3220

    Results in white below:
    Hero has As Qd (two pair, aces and queens).
    Button has Ah Kc (two pair, aces and kings).
    Outcome: Button wins t2320. Hero wins t900.

    Here are my thoughts, but I'm not that great of a tourney player.

    I think you may have been too passive PF. I'm probably raising this up to at least 120. You have AQ OOP. You need to find out where you are now.

    On the flop, I'm firing out a larger bet. Probably 100-140.

    Why check that turn? You have top two. Only a KT or slowplayed set is beating you. I'd fire out a 3/4 to full pot bet because we don't want to give odds to draw to the gutshot.

    After looking at the results, turn play didn't matter. You were probably getting all-in there anyway. Sucks that button hit his 7-outer.
    I study at KRE8R's School of Bankroll Management.

    If you IM me looking for money or a trade, you will be blocked.

    I appreciate your reply triple-t.

    The reason for me playing very cautiously was simply because i was out of position.

    I knew i was infront on the turn when the Ace had came down which is the reason i checked to begin with. I knew with this players aggression he would have placed a bet.

    Play is fine PF. No need to get a HUGE pot going into the community cards where your hand isn't going to hit 2/3 times and you resort to check-fold.

    On the flop, I'd check-raise there instead of the turn. And check-raise him healthy.

    I'm betting 250 on the turn, and yes, getting it all in there.

    But if you make a strong check-raise on the flop, you probably don't go busto by shit luck.
