Havent had many confrontations, but I usually don't acknowledge any drama at the tables. I just keep to myself, and try to stay on the high road. Thanks for the encouraging words.
More hand 2 analysis...
I agree w @mela. Prob shd hv just called his 3bet. But not totally convinced its the right play.
@Boilref agree. this is totally not me to b flipping for this much, this early in tournament. I just got caught up n this hand, and still not sure about it.
I was raising the button a lot, so my gut feel was that Villain (30k) was 3 betting a hand he thought was superior to mine, and didnt think I actually had a hand like A
Q
. My read was 100% villain didnt hv aces or kings. I was just hoping it wasn't AK, but to me it look like he had something like pocket 9s, 10s, or what exactly what he had-Jacks. To b homest, i was a bit surprised w HIS play! shoving w JJ after i 4bet half my stack!! I typically don't like flipping for this much, but wanted to 4 bet preflop and try to get him off 9s,10s, or jacks. I just knew I wasn't folding this hand, and i had a great read it was a flip. At that point, if he was wanting to shove, I was willing to flip for it (Call me crazy). But, I dont get HIS shove. actually, i can see a player mayb even folding Jacks after i 4 bet here! 2bet450/villain 3bet 1600/4bet 5600. After i make it 5600 (from 12k) Villain has to know if he wants to continue on w the hand he's looking at 12k. IMO, i think calling 40% of ur stack w jacks is also a big gamble!! Villain cd b crushed here a lot of times too!!
hindsight mayb just call the 3bet (instead of 4 betting) is better w position. Play it more cautious. Still not sure tho. Been wavering over this hand today.
