I was playing a freeroll with around 170 people tonight, and this was one of the important hands for me. There were around 120 people left and I had aproximately 1600 in chips and the BB had around 2000. I was in the small blind with J♣K♣, and the blinds were 30/60.
UTG calls, everybody folds around to me who call. The BB raise to 300 and the UTG folds. The BB was a decent player and I was pretty sure he was playing a big pocket pair or a big ace (AQ or AK). I decided to call, because I felt I had a much better read on him than he had on me. He was playing very tight/aggresive but also very predictable. So I thought if the right flop came I could double up.
Anyway, the flop came 4♦ 7♥ A♣. I checked the flop, and he emmidiately bets out 500. Before I had checked the flop, I had decided if he made a big bet (500 is a big bet in this situation) I would raise all-in. So when he bet I raised all in. The reason was that the big ace I knew he could have, would probably want me to call, so would probably make a smaller bet. After my raise he had to call 800 in order to win the 1660 already in the pot.
This was some of the info, but my question is, would you ever do a "kamikaze" move like this, or simply say: He's got the best hand, so let him have it"
I know that it is difficult to advice people on when to bluff because when you bluff you are often on a "gutt" fealing, but I would like some advice anyway.
