    In a 100 bb tourney I can't fold here and shove after his raise too.

    Probably make first raise smaller mind.

    Thanks Dudeskin,

    what kind of raise would you suggest? I'm just thinking I dont want him to call with air and hit 2pair, trips etc on the flop and if a AKQ comes is it an instant fold to a pot sized bet?

    u should be jus flattin JJ after his 3bet for many reasons..
    . ur initail raise is fairly big so i would assume for him to re-raise (and his raise size) shows he has a big hand.

    .its too early into tourny to be puttin many chips at risk. also with no reads.

    .JJ is never goin to be a favourite if 4 bet is called this early.

    i would raise less and not have the mentality of being scared of overs on the flop.. if overs come then, yea u can jus c/f flop losin maybe only 80-100 chips but as played u lost 2k chips and out the tourney..

    Rush of blood maybe, I came 2nd in the £500 BH about an hour before so perhaps I was a bit giddy lol.

    I appreciate the advice, thank you

    Rasie pre to 80 - when you get 3 bet it's either overpair or AK

    Your jacks shrink up they might aswell be 8's

    call and set mine
    btw you need to be able to fold a 9 high flop
    you can probably c/c once as he will be c-betting AK 100%

    Makes sense Rancid! I like your thinking, I was in a haze at that point and the few glasses of vino dont help lol.

    Would there be a % pot size bet you would fold to on the flop considering he will be c-betting if he hasnt already hit?

    you raise 80
    he pops it to 220

    i am c/c less than pot, prob c/f turn if he double barrels - but you gotta pressure them to double barrel )

    I probz call the small 4-bet and set mine, i'd literally give up to a cbet on a 5 high flop
    he's NEVER, and i mean never ever, 3-bet bluffing that small after you opened 7X the BB
    Why open so big? making it 80 is fine
