I had doubled up recently to go above the average. My image is pretty tight, but I've shown pretty well-timed aggression. The middle villain is sorta' random. Not bad, just sorta' erratic. The back villain has sat for one round, and hasn't done anything noteworthy. Comments on all streets appreciated.

JJ in early position can be a tough hand to play. I like your pf raise, standard 3xBB. But the flop bet seems a bit much, pot is t1050 and you bet out t1200. I rather bet t700 to have some wiggle room to get away, or even pushed if you were that committed to the hand.

I don't think MPs misplayed this at all. He had position on you, had odds to draw to his set with UTG+2 calling, and could afford to see the flop. He might have read your flop overbet as AK/images/graemlins/spade.gif trying to take it down right there and was protecting his set with the push.

There have been much worse beats during this particular tourney (Gavin's TT vs Q3o with a Q on the turn). In fact this isn't a bad beat, you just got outdrawn on the flop.
