Background: 9 people left, final table bubble (it's always 8 at this place where i play)
Guy to my right has re-raised my raises many times, and i could tell w/ good hands, or solid pairs, and had to lay my hands down oop.

Blinds are 4/8, i have about 120 in chips, he has about 90. I pick up KJos UTG and raise to 20. He thinks about it for a second, and reraises another 35.

Right now, the pot is 87.

I finally put him on a pair, as high as 10's, or a hand like AQ. Yes, putting him on a hand that is better than mine. WE had been on the final table bubble for a while and no one was playing hands, so i needed to either make a stand or keep playing the docile way that it had been going.

After raising another 35, he has 37 left. I know if i call the 35, the rest of his 37 is going in the pot.

Anyway, I call. Flop comes A 10 5, and i put him all in for 37, as a bluff, and hoping he had an underpair.

He thinks about it, and makes the crying call for his last chips w/ JJ.

I spike a Queen on the turn for the nuts.

Here's what i know i did wrong with the hand, lemme know if there's anything else wrong:
1) Calling his reraise preflop. I think raising utg w/ KJ os 5 handed is ok, especially since the table had been playing very tight.

2) Just calling his raise preflop. I honestly thought at the time i could fold, raise, or call and all be viable options.


Any comments are appreciated.

BTW i went on to win the tourney, w00t.

additional comment, i think i went into this hand w/ the advice DN has given quite often, which was I put myself into a position to get a big chip stack going into the final table.

Calling his reraise is pretty bad. Although you can tell yourself that you would put him all in but hope to gain some fold equity by going all in on the flop ("stop N go"). Other than that, not much to it. It sucks when someone keeps playing back at you, are you sure he was doing this with all solid hands?

Villain is pot committed so you're really looking at putting in another 72 chips so you're getting around 1.7-1 on the call. With KJo - I don't think that is quite good enough and would have folded as you still have 100 chips after the fold.

Im confused..was he to your right or were you OOP when he reraised, and on this hand?
