Hand #342: Batshit insane hand #3, otherwise known as the worst call i've ever made in my entire poker career.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20000 (9 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

SB (t414644)
BB (t19836)
UTG (t280624)
UTG+1 (t816802)
MP1 (t553701)
Hero (t516744)
MP3 (t1053987)
CO (t249586)
Button (t227156)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Jh, Js.
2 folds, MP1 raises to t60000, Hero calls t60000, 4 folds.

Flop: (t128000) 9c, 3c, 7d (3 players)
MP1 bets t60000, Hero raises to t180000, MP1 raises to t492701, Hero calls t275744 (All-In).

Turn: (t1076445) Jc (3 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t1076445) 9d (3 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t1076445
Main Pot: t1039488 (t1039488), between MP1 and Hero. > Pot won by Hero (t1039488).
Pot 2: t36957 (t36957), between BB and MP1. > Pot won by MP1 (t36957).

Results in white below:
BB has As Qs (one pair, nines).
MP1 has 3d 3h (full house, threes full of nines).
Hero has Jh Js (full house, jacks full of nines).
Outcome: Hero wins t1039488. MP1 wins t36957.

My opponent raises pre-flop, bets the flop, and goes all in over my re-raise. Why the hell did I think he couldn't beat a pair of jacks? Honestlyk, here is why. He used his entire time back before raising. I lulled myself into thinking that he *must* have had A9, or a flush draw, or overs an thinking I was bluffing. And I quickly called his all in. Here's the problem. I was 5th overall in chips left. He was 4th. He was one of 4 guys that could bust me, and I was one of the few guys who could totally cripple him. I think that if I had queens it might not be so bad a call, and kings or aces and it is probably an ok call. But with pocket jacks, what hands will a solid player reasonably risk his tournament life with that I can beat? I was suprised as shit to see a set, but, I should have expected either 99 or an overpair.

also, I should have re-raised him pre-flop. He would have dumped his threes and I would have beaten AQ.

At this point, I now have 1,069,324 in chips and am the tournament chip leader.
