I was playing a trny on Poker Stars, I get Jack of sapdes and queen of spades in the small blind, every but the button folds around to me, i raise twice twice the big blind, BB folds and button calls ..Flop comes A of spades 10 of spades and 8 of hearts, I bet half the pot and he raises three times the pot, which over half my stack.. SO i push all in and he calls..He shows ace king and wins the hand seeing as how he out drew me..Question is Was i wrong in pushing all in after the raise?? Should i have just checked on the flop?? I couldnt lay it down too many outs with the flush draw, the straight draw, and the royal flush possibility..Any advice would help

well, in a ring game you made the right play, always get your money in if the odds are in your favor.
In a tournament you now have to look at the entire situation....are you shortstacked, are you i the money yet, is it still early, is it possible that I can count Queens or Jacks as outs? I would fold this in a tournament if I'm not desperate for a double up.
Well, you obviously know you were beat at that moment. The only thing that could save you there was one of your 15 outs if the person above me has it right. The thing you need to ask yourself if you wanna risk your tournament life just for that hand?. I know its hard to lay down hands like that, but sometimes you just gotta do it
