Just a few points of interest.
1) Any time anyone raises preflop, it is the natural reaction of all players to say "AA, KK or AK." Based on one raise early into a tourny, you just decided to run with AK. You had no basis, it was just a feeling. So you make a super-tight fold of AQ at 10/15 blinds and decided to keep up with your read.
Reading ability is g00t, but i never know what an op has after only one street of action and neither does Rada, Ace, or Mike. You narrow it to a range of hands, then after the flop too fewer hands, turn just to a couple or maybe even 1.
Working on your reads is great and something everyone should do, but here you just made a lucky guess. You did not make a leap into the class levels of aces, mike and rada, you just made a guess and some it work out without putting any chips at risk. It's a more difficult test to make a read and follow through with your chips.
It's just a pet-peeve when people discuss a hand while it's being played. That's personal preference and not against Party Poker standards. You may do as you please, we just don't agree with it.
