    Default Two away from the bubble AK for review:

    This guy has poor stats and has played poorly from what i have seen:

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button (t2535)
    SB (t3523)
    Hero (t1270)
    UTG (t2785)
    MP (t2045)
    CO (t2842)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K.
    4 folds, SB completes, Hero raises to t120, SB calls t90.

    Flop: (t240) T, 8, A (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t150, SB calls t150.

    Turn: (t540) Q (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t200, SB raises to t810, Hero calls t610.

    River: (t2160) 2 (2 players)
    SB bets t210, Hero calls t190 (All-In).

    Final Pot: t2560

    Drop it on the turn to the reraise? Bet more on flop? I wanted action... Thanks for thoughts, i was two away from the bubble at a DS final table.

    I forgot to mention that he doubled up with trash earlier by getting lucky and then later called two peoples all in with 92s. I had a strong feeling that he didnt have an ace....

    I think your flop and turn bets are too small. I'd make it 400-500 on the turn.

    EDIT: If you didn't put him on an ace I guess the smaller bets are fine to extract more chips?

    I don't think betting less is going to get more action from players who have made hands that you beat that will call anyway, like AQ etc. All it does is give players who are drawing the right odds to call. Flop bet is reasonable but the turn bet is just over 1/3 pot. I'd put in 400 so you can shove the rest on the river.

    Edit - Bet sizing looks trickier than I first though, 300 is probably enough because otherwise you might as well hold up a big sign saying "I am pot commited!"

    Since i was in the BB and already had 30 out there, how much should i lead out with only the SB still out there?
    The flop bet was bad looking back on it, i should have pumped it up more, i was kind of surprised that he called though.
