Killer hand in $2.5m G'tee - Comments ...
Honeybadg:
I busted out 270th of 1370 with the following ... 150 paid
Blinds 300/600 Ante 60
Early position (35000 chips) raises to 2400 has been raising all sorts or rather a lot of hands. (Mainly successfully "stealing")
Mid position I have JJ (19000 chips) - three people (who can kill me) to act after me.
I have killed a couple of pots with QQ and KK recently (not shown) - with early raisers
I decide to call.
All the rest fold.
Flop is 842 ...
He bets half the pot ... to me this looks like a standard continuation bet ... so I go all in happy to kill the pot ...
He flips 88 ... scream ... no help ...
My gut feel is that I should have gone all in pre-flop ... but not keen on a race nor getting picked up with an over pair (albeit I think I need to ignore this) ...
I would welcome thoughts on this one ...
My take is that he could make his initial raise (very active player) with 66,77,88,99,TT,QQ,AK,AQ,AJ ... actually possibly more! ... so I let him bet out and kill the pot ... and perhaps happy to throw away with overcards ... overcards potentially scary for him too.
Is this getting too tricky ... or just unlucky?
A double up here would have put me 42nd ... on target for $8,750 ... chance for a lot more ...
(Aside I went to bed at about 1am ... work up at 7.30am ... first hand I view is JJ vs 88 ... all in pre flop .... but the flop itself is interesting ... 925 ... 88 feeling potentially good in that hand!
Slightly latter ... 55 pushes into k23 flop and finds AA ... 55 pusher won $75k ... his conqueror $200k ... 55 under no chip pressure ...
The last three featuring an astonishing 33 vs AJ all in race (80 BBs vs 120BBs) ... the 33 holds and then wins with AJ vs TT on the same player ... for an extra $250k ... however much I hate JJ ... I think he hates AJ much much more.

AMRN:
dont think you did anything wrong with your JJ - I suspect I would have done exactly the same. Unlucky on getting so close.
Honeybadg:
... cheers Steve ... a really tricky spot!

LongshanksED:
just unlucky i think
he may have folded his 88"s if you shoved pre flop but if there is still a few to act behind you i dont think the call is a bad one
George2Loose:
I would 3 bet pre to about 8k and call a shove
