Tourney starting stack 13000
Stacks same 13000
Interesting hand, tight aggressive older...
Blinds 100-100.. raises to 1100 early.. ( usually has A X TO 10.. BIG CARDS.
I get JJ. Raise to 3300.

All else fold...

Flop 983 rainbow

He checks, I bet all in,, rebuy period for the next 2 hours..

He folds...

That was knowing the player, as I watched him closely in previous tournaments, if he hits, it’s all in....

So, he raised 11x preflop?
I do not understand the preflop action honestly.

Seems fine given your read on him.

That being said with 6.6k in the middle and 10k behind, you may want to consider making a smaller bet like 2-3k to give him the opporunity to
a) float your bet and try to improve, then check/fold into a bigger pot on the turn (with overcards he'll be missing the turn 88% of the time)
b) make a play on you thinking your hand is weak

If he's just a loose passive player then your makes sense.
If he has any kind of aggression and fight in him tho (as these big overbet player types often do) it's not a bad idea to give him some rope to hang himself when you've got such a good hand and such a good flop AND an already juicy pot that he'll likely want to fight for.

His attack, which works well is, I am guessing, AK AQ AJ AT A9. Raises it..
at these tournaments, he usually gets one or two caller ?? I don’t know,, just because...
if he hits the flop... all in, picks up 20 bigs... if he misses ..checks... if opponents check he’s bets big...on the turn. ..

He always amasses a stack, but vaulters in the higher blind levels.

I have caught him several times, when you hit trips and slow play or catch a flush or straight.

If he is in with any other holdings it’s usually 2 to 3x.
