Aces First Hand!

Hey guys just after sum opinions please! I was playing a £2.20 dym earlier today and got dealt aces in the first hand in the Big blind. Everybody folded round to the SB who limped to try see a flop. I raised to 80 and he then re raised me to 250, I then re raised again to 550 and he thought for a a few moments and then shipped it!! I called, he had QQ and hit a Q on the flop and knocked me out in the first hand!! Did i do wrong by putting all my chips in the middle in the first hand of a tournament that essentially is about survival?

    Forget about the outcome - it's irrelevant. Just try to do the right thing.

    It was the perfect coup for you. If you are not gonna accept an invitation to get it all in when you are an 80/20 favourite, then you never will.

    perfectly played, imo. i would like that first hand in every game. i would like my opponent to play the same too.

    A point well made Tikay. I guess it just hurts being out in the first hand, I dont think ive been out of a dym in the first level before let alone the first hand lol!! Good to hear from you again Tikay! Hope you are well?

    Thank you Aussie. Going through a bit of a rough patch on the dym's at the moment, a few years ago i use to be able to cash in 6 or 7 on the trot with fair regularity, these days i seem to struggle doing 3 on the trot, i still make a profit but just over a longer period, either im getting worse or the standard of my opponents are getting better!! Or both lol!!

    Bad beats use to be a major issue for me but i've began to think of every hand long term and view each and everyone as a win. I did what I was meant to do and got my money or chips in when ahead therefore I'm a winner.

    I think the general consensus is that the average standard is much better now than 'a few years ago'.

    You're a massive favorite and 80% of the time will have twice the starting stack after one hand and are probably then a strong favorite to cash (someone can probably do the maths). Played itself and you did nothing wrong.

    Why does this even need a thread?

    If you fold or consider folding here then give the game up.
