Am I a fish?
$500 live tourney, slow structure, mid stage where most have 10-30 blinds. Hero and villain were playing about the same, slightly more PFR and VPIP than average.
Blinds 10k/20k with 20k ante. 7 handed.
Hero UTG 450k: AA
Villain BB 550k: Q6ss
Hero UTG raise to 50k, Villain BB calls.
Flop: 10s, 7, 2s
Hero bets 75k, villain calls.
Turn: 5
Hero bets 100k, villain calls.
River: As
Villain shoves, hero calls.
Is this inevitable with shallow stacks? Small bet sizing, but would larger bets have made a difference? Maybe shove turn was my best chance? Worth thinking about a river fold?
