I like it a lot more after everyone folds than before. With the preflop call, it's hard to put him on a semi-bluff with big overcards because it sounds like he's aggressive enough to raise with that preflop.

Maybe he has a 6, but he is equally likely to have a 4, if you use the same rationale for the 4 as you do for the 6. Could be A4s or A6s.

More than likely he is on some other pair smaller than yours, maybe 5's, 7's or 8's.

I have a hard time letting the Jacks go here. I also consider reraising to say "the turn isn't going to be free either." I'd hate to cold call and then see an Ace or King come on the turn. But I don't know.

Look forward to seeing the results and other comments.

As I said in the original post, I folded. There is no way I can just call his raise. I will face a huge bet on the turn and will essentially be playing for my whole stack here.

This hand plays out much differently in an online tournament. We're nearly 300 blinds deep in this situation, with a slow blind structure that can reward conservative play. That is not something you encounter playing online.

Agreed. Bad comparison on my part. While, this tourney is obviously way out of my league. I mostly play $50-$250 online mtts, and some even lower limits. If this hand came up in my online MTTs in a very similar fashion, im sure my donkey self would reraise all in verse Joe. Because i'm not afraid to bust out.

While Joe could very well have you beat here, he also could just be making a move using his image and position. Preflop he prolly reraises with AA, KK. So QQ is the only hand I see what you are behind too. And I think him having an overpair to the flop is very possible also (77-1010). But more likely I think he's making a move.
