Silly?
I got scorched for my play in this hand. The railbird called my play silly and he continued on after I got eliminated. I didn't respond because I agreed with him, but I sent the HH to my buddy and he didn't see anything wrong with my play.
It was a cheap $5.50 + rebuys NLHE tourney and I had $16.50 invested, not that that matters. We were about 60 places away from the money which wasn't significant.
Thinking it over, maybe my buddy is right. Suppose I only raise 4x the BB and get re-raised, do I get away from JJ. Don't know, probably not. Probably a weakness in my game, but I'm not good at laying down big pairs preflop.
I had made a similar play earlier with QQ the orbit before and thought I might get someone to call with an underpair.
