HOLMESBRON raises to 600

i have 16bss i know the strategy is never raise fold with less with this range of bbss, as that is the weak player.

my intention was either to push,, or raise to induce a shove..i decided to raise and call a shove

HOLMESBRON raises to 3,890, and is all in
BluffSmiling calls 2,565

if i fold i still got 13 bbs,, still lots of push or fold mode which is what i would do at that bb level

the question here is ,,

1. if i run into queens,kings, aces or i put him on that range..

“could i have folded” which is what my young friend who is ahead at the micros mtt right now

(the actual range i put him on was not that tight ,, i put him on pocket 8s or better, ace queen type or possibly king ten suited )

2. am i over doing this mtt concept of never raise folding at 16 bbs ? (that 14 to 20 bigs range)

i am looking forward to the forthcoming part four of mtt preflop videos which i hope will shed further light on this.

i figure the antes stage makes a lean towards coming over the top as oppose to folding ?
