Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Jh Jc (one pair, jacks).
MP2 has Kc Js (high card, ace).
Outcome: Hero wins t11693. </font>

MP2 went all-in right behind me. (not sure why the converter is omitting this)

It would have been crushing to lose this one, but it was a call I didn't struggle with very much. I thought worse case was AK/AQ/QQ and didn't think AA or KK would be played that way against my stack. I felt mostly like it was a 99-77 sort of move, but I was a little surprised to see KJo.

I commented in the previous post about the villain being a party leaderboard player. Someone who has consistently been in the 50 range for about the past year.

I do not believe I would ever make the same move in his spot, barring some very solid read which I'm sure the villain didn't have.

Not being reults-oriented, is this a better move than I realize? Is this something I should be doing based solely on stack sizes? For you more experienced players (I'm positive the villain is more experienced than I am), is this a normal play in your arsenal at this stage of the tournament? Was he just unlucky to run into JJ and a player who wouldn't fold it?

Thanks,
