Final 2 I had like a 18:1 chip lead -_-, I know I suck, and somehow I ended up 2nd place. Here are the hand histories of the final hands in a condensed form. Please critique me, tell me what I did wrong, and what to do better next time. He did get lucky on numerous all ins BTW. I will highlight the main hands.

Heres the Starting chip count at final 2:
Seat 4: kalkiyali (27,044 in chips)
Seat 7: Zonify (421,456 in chips)

Dealt to Zonify [ 8c ]
Dealt to Zonify [ Ah ]
Dealt to Zonify [ 9h ]
Dealt to Zonify [ As ]
Zonify : Raise (30,000)
kalkiyali: Call All-in (15,044)
Pot: 54,088 | Board: [ 2s Jc Js Ts 3s ]
kalkiyali bet 27,044, collected 54,088, net +27,044 (showed hand) [ 3c 2d 2c 3d ] (a full house, threes full of jacks)
Zonify bet 36,000, collected 8,956, net -27,044 (showed hand) [ 8c Ah 9h As ] (two pair, aces and jacks)
----------------------------------------------------------

So I got unlucky on our first all in. I know I went in with the right hand.

Please critique my play and advise me as to what not to do next time. I had such a huge lead and figured it was a guranteed win, I played the hands all wrong, got too greedy, but how do you guys not get overzealous?

Just wanna note, I don't play like such a dumbazz throughout the tournament, I just played like a dumbazz at the final 2.

Hand 1: you played fine but got unlucky

Hand 2: I'd be more in favor of a check call on the river. He's not exactly going to call you're 12,000 bet if he can't be top pair top kicker. Give him a chance to bluff at it if you are going to call.

Hand 3: Fold preflop. Regardless of whether or not he's "making a move" you have a crap hand. What do you hope to flop that he will call all-in with.

Hand 4: Fold on the turn. He very likely could have a flush draw and a made pair over your's. You were aggressive in trying to take the pot. Don't call your money away on a 6 high flush draw.

Hand 5: fold on the flop.
