I really thought this was an interesting hand and I was faced with a difficult decision. I presented the hand with a result because if I would have asked how to play the hand facing an all in bet everyone would have assumed I lost the hand.

Anyway when I was faced with a push I put my opponent on a
wide range of hands from a smaller pocket pair, Ace big, K
big, and of course hands containing a Jack. We can also throw in the Harrington 10% bluff factor to further justify
a call. All things considering my range of hands that he could have which I could beat gave me considerable call equity. I also thought if he had a Jack he might not make
a big move on the flop and try to milk me. So I called and
of course I lost the hand. I had him barely covered so I had to listen to everyone including the winner tell me how
stupidly I played the hand.

This hand reminds of a hand from HOH 1 when a preflop raiser
with pocket Aces was moved all in on a Nine high flop and Dan mathematically justified making the call.

It's amazing to me how poorly people play and how little
people understand the game. The more I play the worse
play seems to be lately.

I think there's a tremendous luck factor involved in a large
MTT. Playing well certainly helps, but if you don't get lucky you're short term results are going to suffer. David
or Sirrio alludes to this in another post.
