Blinds 400/800

UTG+1 ($3,055)
MP+1 ($13,280)
MP+2 ($4,520)
CO ($17,530) [Hero]
Button ($8,320)
SB ($3,880)
BB ($37,105)
UTG ($12,570)

Hero is CO with Jd, As
Preflop: (8 players, $0)
UTG calls 800, 3 folds, Hero calls 800 and raises 1,600, 2 folds, BB calls 1,600, UTG calls 1,600

Flop: 5c, Js, 5s (3 players, $6400)
BB checks, UTG bets 3,000, Hero calls 3,000 and raises 6,000, BB calls 9,000 and raises 25,705 and is All-In, UTG folds,

Should i be getting away from this? I keep busting out of tournaments on hands like these where i've singled out the one guy that can stack me, and it's pretty clear i'm beaten and, but i'll be crippled if i fold. I was doing grand building a stack stealing blinds and small pots. Should i be putting the breaks on when another big stack shows some interest? Was the flop raise stupid?

i think that removes any doubt that it's limit.


I think you should have raised more preflop. In general always be weary of tangling with the only guy that has you covered, and geting it all-in with tptk is not something you should be doing. I'm not a big fan of the reraise, but it's certainly a fold after he reraises all-in, even if it leaves you short.

Raise more preflop. Call all in on flop.

it wasnt a serious question - I was referring to the fact he never does anything but min raise

Ah, so he didnt. the hand history confused me
I read - Hero calls 800 and raises 1,600 to be he makes it 1600

apologies

How much preflop? 3000/5000? And on the flop, after utg has bet into me whats the plan for the hand? Just call down to the river?
