To be quite honest, I am about to lose my mind with online poker. I just can't manage to put anything together for a consistent run especially on Fulltilt. So anyway this hand came up and I want to know if I could/should have gotten away with some chips or would you guys have done the same thing.
100 players remaining of 400 in a tourny. Chip average is 7k, blinds 80/160.
I am on the button with 6710 in chips
The player 2 off the button with 8390 in chips limps in.
Action folds to me and I raise to 415 with![]()
. The blinds fold and the limper calls. I previously doubled through this guy about 8 hands earlier with AA when he called me down with K8 on a 6 10 8 2 7 board. I checked his OPR and he has a 30% rating and is a "maniac" according to Poker-edge.com
Flop comes a beautiful![]()

.....perfect for my QQ against a guy who will apparently hold on to a face card for dear life (sarcasm). He checks and I check behind him not wanting to get check raised with his garbage K5 or something like that.
The turn isand he bets out the size of the pot which was ~1000. I am now convinced he called me preflop with a weak A or K and is bad enough to call me down yet again so I push. He calls immediately and flips over

. And I am out of the tourny.
I need help because I don't know what to do anymore. I have tried tight play, loose play, passive play, aggressive play......I can't get it together. I know I should want people calling me OOP with 86 when I have QQ but I feel like I am always messing it up. I almost never build a chip stack in a tourny....I just survive until a coinflip comes up or a 60/40. I NEED HELP!!!!! Sorry for the rambling, but I just can't stand it.
