    To be honest the only thing you should've done here is shove pre. Having said that the outcome is probably the same anyway as willie ain't folding there.

    Shove pre & unlucky

    Yeah, instead of 3betting to 7200, I'd just shove but I don't think it's gonna change the outcome.

    Unlucky.

    Thanks guys..

    I'm just always a bit weary of all in unless I know for sure..

    Especially as it was for money payout and I was in top 10 leaders pre hand guaranteed payout if I stayed in top 20 or so

    I will learn.. ha ha..

    Thanks

    I know you wanna cash but hands like QQ at the late stages of a tourney are like golddust. You gotta be willing to put all your money in them.

    Unlucky dude. As was pointed out you should 100% be re-shoving. In higher level tournements people will start to make small pre-flop raises with air to steal the blinds. In most of these situations it's more about your stack size than your cards. Here you are just short of the 20 big blind mark (binds are 400/800 and you have around 13K at the start of the hand). Your 20BB stack is just the right size to be looking for re-steal opportunities, by shoving over these small raises you can win the hand by having the best hand, or by getting lucky despite having the worst hand, or by making the opponent fold

    Read up about how to play poker with less than 25 big blinds. It is vital that you master this art if you want to win tournements. Very difficult to master though. I'm no good at it
