Not a bad beat story.. really! So there I was in the big blind.. 7th out of 14 left in the ACR freeroll. As I got closer to the bubble I tightened up.. Then it happened.. A J suited in the BB. Heck I almost didn't want it.(not then anyhow) Everybody folded to the SB. He raised X3(and had done it a couple times earlier) so I raised him X3.. He sat there a minute and as his timer headed for zero he went all in. Called. He had K J offsuit so I was happy.. we shared the J and I had a pretty big advantage. Flop came and I got my Ace... but before I could pump my fist.. runner runner he has a straight and I'm out.
Top 10 are in the money.. Did I play it right? Should I have just called his bet? so many questions. But what I really would like to know is How do we/you play so close to the bubble? Hell we had 2 people inactive and blinding out.. I could have just put it on auto and got to the promised land. My problem with that is by doing that I'm pretty close to everything being an all in when I start betting again.
Just curious what the consensus is out there...
thanks!
