Poker Stars, $4 Buy-in (100/200 blinds, 25 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

CO: 3,835 (19.2 bb)
Hero (BTN): 26,172 (130.9 bb)
SB: 46,240 (231.2 bb)
BB: 16,885 (84.4 bb)
MP: 27,748 (138.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A A
MP folds, CO calls 200, Hero raises to 600, SB calls 500, BB folds, CO calls 400

Flop: (2,125) 2 8 8 (3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Hero bets 1,200, SB raises to 2,400, CO folds, Hero calls 1,200

Turn: (6,925) 4 (2 players)
SB bets 3,200, Hero calls 3,200

River: (13,325) 6 (2 players)
SB bets 10,400, Hero calls 10,400

SB is a pretty aggro fishy guy, 37/28 over ~150 hands. CO is a loose passive fish, limping a ton.

Pre I think I should've raised bigger, consider stack sizes and having a fish already in the pot and a fishy guy in the SB as well.

On the flop his raise made no sense at all. Of course he had already been quite aggressive before, so I had no reason to believe him. I think he can certainly have an FD here, but I don't ever see him having something better than AA here. 8x/88/22 makes no sense to raise here at all.

So I just went into calldown mode to let him just bluff off his stack. Didn't see much value in raising though.

Preflop:
Make it a bit bigger and you get more action from CO. He would be less likely to just call and would more often push pre imo, which creates nice situations with SB joining in and thereafter CO going over the top.
At the same time I don't think that your fold equity gets way higher when you increase your betsize slightly. So no point in sizing it small.

Flop:
Smells a bit like 8x to me. However, I don't see any possibilty of folding against such a player. The call is the best choice imo.

Turn + River:
Pretty standard I guess. No point in raising. He would fold most worse hands while at least calling the better ones, if not 3betting them. Therefore raising has no value.
