When I get aces early in a "non Ridge Poker Challenge" tournament (hehe), I try to get it all in pf, even if it means overbetting/raising. This is probably not a great move, but at least you feel better when you get beat since you pushed it in with the best of it. :nod:

I'll bet you felt like a douche for calling his shove after that flop, no? Been there down that. Got the T-Shirt.

Looks good. Dry flop so the 1/2 pot bet seems fine to me but no less. More if there's a draw.
