This hand came about a half hour into the tourney. I've been reading on this forum a lot about how the real money can only be made by pressing the edges and building a sizable chip stack. So I went for it. Considering the pre-flop play and the texture of the flop I put Villain on either top board pair with A or K kicker or else JJ-88. A set seemed unlikely as the natural play is to check and let the pre-flop raiser hang themselves.

Anyone else make this play here? Or is too early for it?

(Oh, and since the converter doesn't say it, I pushed and BB called me.)
