Ok, SO I'm playing in an 11 man tournament last night and we get down to 5 players. I havn't really done much the entire time except for steal a few blinds. Blinds are 50 100 I have about 1600 chips and there are 22000 in play. I get dealt ace king offsuit on the button and two people limp in fron of me, the two limpers have about the same amount of chips as me and are not likely to do anything crazy like call a big raise with pocket 4's or something. ON my left I have the two big stacks, with the biggest stack being directly on my left and a tad crazy/stupid. With 2 limpers ahead of me and 350 in dead money in the pot I decided to move all in. The big stack to my left thinks for about 10 seconds and calls, everyone folds except for the limper to my right who also moves all in for an extra 400 or so. Limper shows pocket queens, big stack shows ace jack. Ace jack sucks out and Im gone. Any feedback on whether I should have just raised rather than push?

I like your move.Even with one of het limpers having QQ you were getting great odds on your money even if he just called. With the tard on your right is wa a great move. I can't fault any of the logic you used whatso ever. just hope it breaks better for you next time

Solid play; if you raised say 800 (1/2 of your stack) and then it gets re-raised back at you; you still have to call. I like your all-in play.This way, you're the aggressor and possibly take down the pot. The big stack was dominated by you and got lucky. As for the limper, can't put him on that type of hand although limping with Q's, K's, and A's seems to be popular these days.
