I feel like I helped @SteveFredlund (RecPokerSteve) a bit there on the final table when he dominated my JJ with AA. Not the best time for me to jam I guess. You are welcome!
Thanks @RichDietz-MrDzzz18 – that was a huge spot. I opened MP and you 3-bet from small-blind I think. I had a decision to make. If I jam there, I think you might fold stuff like AK (maybe), AQ, AJ, JJ, TT, 99, 88 that you would have 3-bet with and I didn’t want that to happen. So I decided to gamble and under-represent a bit but just calling your 3-bet. I figured that would change what you put me on; clearly would be tougher to put me on AA. I don’t mind how you played that at all.. with a K-high flop and you probably take me off AA, KK, AK, it’s a good spot for your JJ. I might even fold QQ there or KQ based on how it was played.
Good thoughts. I am still learning how to put villains on a range (obviously) and did not put you on AA there. I am also still learning the Tournament game as I have mostly played cash. So knowing when to shove and when not to is still a work in progress. I really appreciate these nightly tournaments for that practice and see it starting to pay off. I have hit a couple final tables now and a 2nd place so seeing progress.
The funny part is the hand JUST before this you jammed with JJ and it worked out for you. I usually hate Jacks so when they hit me next hand I figured I better play them a bit harder… if I jammed PF or not does not really matter when you turn over AA though.
Love this community, very happy I joined.
