$60 single rebuy MTT with $25 add-on about 100 runners
First time playing this 8k guaranteed live MTT. Starting stack is 12k with 25 min levels 9 handed.
About 45 mins in to the tournament and have a decent feel for the stronger players and fish at my table.
I pick up KK UTG on 100- 200 blinds and raise to 500 with a total stack of 11k. Folded around to the Small blind and he 3-bets to 2100. He is a 60 year old guy and has already doubled up to have a stack of around 25k. It looks super strong due to his image and appearance. I feel that he has at least QQ. I 4-bet huge to 6k, effectively pot committed with around 4 k behind. He insta 5-bets all-in. I tank knowing an old guy will never act this strong unless he has AA or he is sick. I tank with my KK for about 1 min and of course call.
He flips AA and it held up.
I feel like it is hard to get away from, mainly due to the fast structure of the tournament. but I should have kept my 4-bet smaller to around 3500ish, then if I did want to trust my read if he would go all in, it might have been a little easier spot. But I'm not that big of a nit to lay it down.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks Guys for posting this great info about Bovada. Getting back in to online and live poker as of late. Mainly playing the $13 turbo triple up and it is super soft, as well as dabbling in some 50NL. It appears to be a soft site and proper game selection seems like it could be profitable.
