Default Re: A hand from dmk\'s Saturday win

background:

i had only been at the table for probably 2 orbits, maybe 3. MP2 had just won a fairly large pot a few hands earlier w/ a semi-passively played trips. he seemed reasonable and hadn't seen him out-of-line at all.

i folded, for a few reasons:

a) we were the 3 largest stacks at the table. the next largest was 9k, followed by 6 ppl w/ 5k or less
b) i was OOP against the only player at the table that could bust me. while this could be a squeeze, at that point i didn't have much info to go off of, so i gave him the benefit of the doubt and credited him w/ a real hand, which i figured to be JJ-AA/AK. any re-raise other than all-in is very awkward, and i didn't want to play a flop OOP vs 2 villians (as i'm sure UTG+2 calls if i do, or maybe he pushes, who knows)
c) i'm still at 14k w/ 46BBs, probably top 10-20 in the tournament at that point.

too weak? possibly. i'd like to hear others opinions on it.
