How should I have played this differently? NLH tournament that was already past the rebuy level, and about 4 levels from being in the money.
I have about an average stack of roughly 30k. Blinds are 300/600/100.
I raise to 1800 with AKs in early position. Cutoff makes it 4k and everyone else folds. I call (I read this guy as a little tilted because I had taken a decent pot off of him 2 hands earlier)
Flop comes JJ8r. I check to villian, He bets 4k, I call. I put him on AK, AQ or 77-JJ type ange. Kind of discount anything in his range with a J since 2 hit the flop.
Turn brings an A. He shoves roughly 20k . Call would cripple me to about 3bb. I can't see anything but a bluff or AK with his 3 bet preflop so I call. Basically I think we chop or I have him dead.
Tables KJ off. I know I could have just folded to the shove but with top 2 top kicker I only lose to JJJ or AA. Guess he was just trying to isolate me and flopped the world.
