I've been busting myself up over this ever since it happened and still cant decide weather I made the correct decision,please help!
P/stars $50+5 buy in NLHE.
Down to last 3 tables,blinds are 200/400 I have T10,000 in chips which puts me in about 5th or 6th position.I get moved to this table and have only seen one hand so far with these players.
Chip leader with 15,000 is on button,3 others around my stack size and the rest have T5000 or less.
I get dealt pocket jacks 1 away from UTG.
UTG raises minimum amount making it 800 to call,now with no read I'm not sure how to take this so just call.Its passed round to a player in middle position who raises all in,(about 11,000).Now the thing is this guy has just lost about 5000 to a real bad beat and I am convinced he's steaming,I put him on a pair lower than mine or Ace with a lower kicker than my pair.
Folded round to the button who takes an age to decide to pass,blinds fold and I am now thinking I am a big favourite if my feeling on his hand is correct.(If the button or the guy UTG passed an Ace and he does have Ace X I'm an even bigger fav)
I call all in and I'm right he has A9 offsuit.Unfortunatly he flops an ace and I go out gutted and unsure if I played correctly based on my "feeling".
Please let me know what you think,also what were the odds on him hitting that ace?Was I the big favourite I thought I was?After all if I had Kings I call automatically with the same result?Look forward to reading your thoughts.
