OK, I Decided to open up with A 10 Os from an Early Position, not sure if it was the best move but i was starting to put on the gas a little bit. This is during the early stages of the tournament.
UTG calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 3 BB, SB calls 2.5 BB, fold, UTG calls 2 BB

SB bets 6.5 BB, UTG calls 6.5 BB, Hero calls 6.5 BB, BTN calls 6.5 BB
When the Ace hits the SB automatically opens up with a pretty big shove. I am not thinking this dude actually has the A i was thinking he has more than likely a high pocket pair or an Ace with a weak kicker, (in the back of my mind i was praying he didnt have better kicker) the people that called after him i figured were on a flush draw, or a straight draw. So I called figuring i had some showdown value
Turn (39 BB, 4 players):

SB bets 19.5 BB, UTG calls 19.5 BB, Hero calls 19.5 BB, BTN calls 19.5 BB
At this point i knew that i was going to have a hard time folding, there was only 1 more Ace out there and what are the odds he has it? even though at this point my Gut was screaming that he had an A with a stronger Kicker, but i couldnt find it in me to fold. i knew i was riding this one to the end.
River (117 BB, 4 players):

SB bets 76.93 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero calls 76.93 BB, fold,
When the K hit, i was hoping he would check it to me and i could possibly shove to get him to fold or do some pot control by checking it back to him. but know he puts it all in. Now i was thinking that he had done a phenomanal job representing those A's and it is now the river, i figured at that point he might try to induce a bet or a bluff by throwing out an obvious defensive bet or giving up with a check. but he just slammed it with an All-in, which in my opinion made me think that he missed his hand or his A rag isnt that great and he is trying to represent a fullhouse with the K on the river. SOOOOOO I made the call and….
he flipped over A Q off
Looking at this hand i really think i shouldve folded on the turn, i think that massive shove on the turn shouldve told me that guy isnt messing around and he really has something, BUT my ego was not giving up those A's. is there a way i couldve played this better?
