In the below NLHE PP tourney, this hand was pivotal in my march to my first final table (ended 7th). My read on the villian (MP-1) was that he was loose and aggressive, and had once already chased me without a hand to back. I didn't put him on AK or KK, but maybe should have put him on KQs or KJs.

Did I get lucky? Of all the hands, this one left me thinking I did.

Figured that is the only way to read it. I felt strongly that he didn't have the K, and had seen him call into me without justification a time before, but still don't think my read justifies the risk I put to my stack.

Often I try to make judgement calls like this on a feeling, and think its really leaky play.
