I was ITM. Should I have folded. Again I had been keeping notes on all the players at my table and this guy was a hot mess. He was calling any all-in and pushing hard. I was sure I was going in with the best hand, but again I could have folded. I thought for awhile and he could have had KK or AA. He was in the SB and maybe I should have pushed all-in. Honest opinion please.

tuff loss but **it happens
GL to u on and off the felts
If he was that loose, you did right, but you said you thought he might have AA or KK, so if you thought that, why did you call?
That is kinda like saying I know there is a Tiger behind that door, but I am going to open it anyway.

Sorry I said I thought for a while before calling. I meant he could have had a better hand preflop like KK or AA, but I was willing to find out. LOL. X
going in with a pocket pair that arent aces is a coin flip anyway most times. it wasnt abad play u went all in or what not but..i mean perfect situation ace 2 would beat you so..its not bad but idk if its worth your tourny life unless your short stackin..
No not a fold if you are ITM unless you have a read on the other guy as very tight. The real question is "was he really loose or did he think you were stealing?". I have pushed like this with hands like this when I thought that someone was stealing too much.
In any case, better luck with the ladies next time
