    Default Is this the right play?

    I figured that I had the best hand here, but I'm wondering if I wasn't too aggressive. Lots of people had been going in with TPTK or TPGK all tournament. I think by the time I made my big bet on the turn, I was pot-committed. Anyway, what would you do here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Button (t8122)
    SB (t4220)
    Silverfist (t8725)
    UTG (t20100)

    Preflop: Silverfist is BB with 7, 8.

    It seems fine to me.

    Thank you. I had put him on a heart draw or an ace. It turned out he had both with AT hearts . I was still the favourite when he put me all-in, since he had 16 outs (2 aces, 3 tens, 3 fours, 8 hearts) and there were 42 unseen cards.

    Your play was a no brainer. The better hand to learn something from is Mp1's. His limp was not horrible if he knew that others would limp as well, but I still like the 3xBB preflop raise there. His call on that flop was also fine - even better when the SB called as well. What I really don't like was his turn push - if I was going to raise, I'd do it at the flop, when I actually was a favorite/toss-up. Since he called that flop, I think he needs to call or fold that turn. The only justification for his move on the turn was that he thought he had you beat with a T kicker and didn't want the SB in there as well - but that's just silly.
