So there was 15 players remaining and payouts start at 13th, one player at my table had like 10BB, he shoves for 1.5K chips, player with 10.5K chips calls, everyone else folds, and I have JJ with a 6.5K stack, I went all in to try and isolate, and the call from the 10.5K did not seem strong.

My place: 8th or 9th place of 15th players

10BB - QJo
10.5K (villain) - K10o
Me - JJ

anyways I get 3 outered with the K.

Question... should I have folded even though I read that the villain called was weak? just beacuse of ICM? and waited for payouts?

Thanks for the help!

I think it's not a mistake but you're most likely will be coinflipping with a lag a 40bb stack. No folding pre, maybe just call and see what board will look like and play careful postflop keeping in mind that it's a bubble.

You played well, just got unlucky. If you won this hand you would be in great position to win tournament.

Standard. A fold is too nitty, a call doesn't make sense because of stack sizes and unless you really want to fold your way into the money, I think this is a completely standard jam. Just sucks you got three outered. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me before and it blows lol

Was it a hyper tournament? If so you are more likely to get called due to looseness.

Other than that I think your play is fine.

The thing is due to my stack size I could not just call, I guess if I wanted to not bubble and play for ICM I should have folded since preflop,

A call would have left me with a bad stack considering that a couple others players had like 4K-7K stack sizes

Do you usually call in these types of situations?

Thanks for your input! :)

Yes! feelsbadman I was ok against the 10BB shove, when I saw the K10o I said ok please no K xD

Yes similar situations have happened to me before but wanted a second opinion to see if it was the right decision for long term poker

Thanks! =]

Thank you for reassuring that I did not make a bad decision :)

Nope it is normal speed, blinds go up every 15 min, so you get to play more calmly

I guess it was a bad luck against a gambler, thought that if he did not have a strong overpair, AKs/o or maybe even AQ (although AQ against two shoves will not be that great) that he would fold

Thank you for your opinion :)

IMO, besides ICM, you cant fold the top of your range, specially in a situation like this. He could be flatting AA or KK, ok, but if the had AK, AQ-, TT-, he was the one trying to isolate, or at least it should be his right play. I think you did well, you didnt want to just call and have a tough decision when Q+ hits the flop

hahaha nice one xD, does playing pocker with metallica in the background gives you some kind of power for better calls? :p

Agree I think the only ones in his position to flat was AA or KK, it just it did not seem like he had something how he was playing, guessed it correctly but bad luck at the end

Thank you so much for the help :)

I never listened to music much while playing honestly.
