I don't play MTT's, just micro-stakes and I'm a noob.

I think it was a bad decision to play. I fold preflop. The guy bet the pot, which is a big raise, I suspect he's got a hand, whereas you have nothing, At the most, I may call to see one more card, but I don't raise. I don't like chasing str8's unless I can do it cheaply and that ain't cheap. It's definitely bad to call the AI. You got lucky, which is great, but I've learned to play tighter to win.

When you're up in chips,just be happy and wait for a better spot. Good luck.
