My opponent had me covered by about five or ten big blinds and something about his previous plays lead me to believe that he wasn't holding a pair of aces but he had a pair of kings or ace king at best or that he was just trying to use his or her big stack to bully the table to win more chips. I considered folding because I would still have a healthy stack of chips and he could of hit the flop with whatever he had. I called all in and it turned out I was right. He had ace queen offsuit and on the flop he paired his ace so I lost again.
I am not happy with this result because I could of folded and walked away with a healthy stack and I still would of been in the tournament, I still would of had a chance. Instead I got greedy.
Why would you be upset about this result? You called essentially what he had and had the better hand
