I always love getting my cards and looking down at some aces, ever limps in to me, and I raise it 6BB. 2 of the limpers call me. Flop comes J57, 2 diamonds. Checks to me, so I jam (prob a little to aggressive, as I was deep stacked and prob could have went with a smaller raise) and of course the tournament big stack at my table calls with pocket jacks, and I lose and bust out. I know my all in shove was a bad move, but I wanted people drawing at the flush to have to pay, and I didn’t expect JJ as there was no raises prior to me. Does anyone think that if I did a smaller raise I would have been more in better shape? Or would I have got check raised and still prob called? Thanks everyone.
First, try to post the stack sizes as well next time. It's an important part of your decision making especially in tournaments ^^
You should consider what you want to achieve with your bet, with a huge overbet like that you are only getting called by a few worse hands (KK,QQ, AKd, 6d8d, maybe some Jacks). Of which some are pretty unlikely since they didn't 3bet you preflop. So you're losing a lot of possible value you could get from the hand, while at the same time made sets are happy to get it in against you.
In general the board is pretty dry (indeed there is a flush draw out there, but J57 isn't too bad). Plus if you did happen to have the ace of diamonds in your hand you are blocking alot of their flush draws. Considering a bet into 2 opponents already looks pretty strong, a bet of 40% of the pot is already enough to make flush draws pay as well as getting value from some worse pairs.
In short the all-in will in the long run only cost you money against made sets probably. Indeed as you mentioned KK-QQ is most likely to 3bet you, but 55 and 77 is definitely in their range. So try to bet a little bit smaller to let draws pay and at the same time get value from worse hands.
Hope this helped a bit, and if anyone thinks my thought process is wrong somewhere I'd be happy to hear about it
