Busted out of TSP! Could I have done better?

Glenelg

HI Peeps,

Won a TSP Classic entry tonight by being a wassock on last nights Primo show. 
Looked a lobby and was bricking it as names like scotty77, bromley04, saradd, etc were there!
Anyway, done ok for the first 20 mins (was 18/117 at one stage!) but got busted out with this hand!   (be gentle! lol)

Forgot to say, went out in 89th place!  Gutted!  Also, forgot to mention Dohhhhhh was in tourney. He's been VERY helpful since I came on site.

 I would raise pre 3 or more xbb,fold to a re-raise. On flop I would either check/ call and then check /fold turn or alternatively you could lead out and fold to a raise on flop, in early stages I wouldn't look to go bust with 2nd pair.

Don't limp with AJ, then probably fold after 5x raise, should raise yourself !

On flop facing pot bet fold.

Pretty horrific stuff this.

Yes, a nice way of saying you murdered the hand.

lol. Felt I was outta my depth going into tourney as I usually only play small DYM's. Was a good experience tho and looking back now i'd prob play my normal game! 
 thanks all.

Yea i think most has been covered.

Raise pre yourself.

Fold to a 3-bet.

Dont go broke on second pair this deep EVER.

there`s only 3 ways to learn

1- poker clinic

2- listen to advice on sky 865 ( as long as it`s not rich orford )

3- you need too play the better players so you can improve yourself

Don't agree with No.3 at all, if you find a level that you can win at comfortably, be it MTT/cash or STT than there's no need to actively play better players, most the time it's just fixing very elemental errors like the above.

openraise pre

flat flop

+ what don said you should never be shoving with 2nd pair this deep, at least you will have learnt from it

maybe KJ,JT,T9, KT,AT

maybe he's trying to make a Q fold

depends on villain

I dont like the play though if he was trying it for either of these reasons
