$20 dollar buy-in with one rebuy at a live tournament with 32 players, start with T2000 in chips. My stack has been up and down, as I have been playing many hands and being super aggressive (esp in position) and got up to 6700 at one point.

I am now down to 4K after I had AK suited run into AA twice.

With 16 players left, I have 4050 and the blinds are 100/200.

Folded to the SB, have no idea how he plays (yet)*. He raises to 700. I look down to find the K 9 I decide to call the raise (although considering the results of the hand, I should have re-raised here because it was best).

Flop 10 8 7

SB bets out 1500. I sense some weakness in him. I look and count out my chips and I have 3350 left. When he raised, I put him on 3 hands: 66 or lower; A-8 or lower; and J10. I really think it is A high and he won't have the guts to call my all-in for 2350 more.

I decide to jam because even if I am up against J10, I am still a 57% favorite with my spades, open ended straight drawe, and the K overcard.

*I later found out from a buddy who plays alot that they call this player, "Dirty Harry", because he is a big time calling station and sucks out alot because of it. I saw him call off half of his stack 2 hands after mine with his A2 vs A8 on a 957 board. But I didn't know this at the time. Now I know better!

This a good play either way?

Post-flop with all those outs, jamming is obviously the play.

Preflop with no reads is tougher. You have 3,850 after posting the BB, an M of 13 and Q below average.

I think that I would call also since you do have position on SB. If this raise was coming from the CO/Button, I'd reraise/jam. Anywhere else, I'd fold.

Everything here is a - ok.

That is what I was figuring. I was outplaying people pretty well post flop. I was also gun-shy to re-raise him preflop because of what happened to me with the 2 AKs during the last level of the rebuy period (I played them aggressively versus players I had covered out of position, flopped an Ace, and ran into trip AA twice).

The only thing is jamming preflop prevents him to do is outflopping me (but if he has a PP preflop, this guy is definitely calling). If he folds to a jam, I'm still in the tournament.

Hindsight is a bi*tch sometimes. The only thing I question with myself is whether I could have waited for a better spot with my M being where it was.

Thanks for all the advice guys.
