just wondering if i played this hand right.......200 dollar buy in so i figure the play will be decent...i think we had aound 30-35 entrants at a local casino....2000 in starting chips...at this point in the tourny blinds were 75/150 i think level four, i've played one hand the whole tourny with aces and i have 2600...down to two tables by now...i've seen 1 round i'm in seat six and the guy in seat nine has about 4500 chips and raising every third pot, on this particular hand i'm in first position with pocket jacks, well i limp hoping for a raise from seat 9,he does and raises it to 600, well everyone folds. well i limp-reraise to 1500,the guy looks at me and smooth calls,before the flop he says"I'm pot commited do what you have to do". The flop comes 8 9 10 rainbow. well i push and he calls and flips over big slick, king on the river and i'm out, I dont feel like I played it wrong, just looking for some input...

why leave yourself 1100 in a 5200 pot ?
Just go all in over his raise, preflop.

but with you 2600 limping is pretty gross.
You're letting too many hands in cheap and too many bad flops for JJ againt a multiway field. You're lucky he raised and cleaned up the field, since 2/3 times he does not raise.

He's planning to auto-push the flop which isn't bad.
The limp is pretty bad, considering 2/3 of the time the villian won't raise.

ok.
As long as he is.
Not sure if it ain't just better to jam over the top and pick up the 975 sometimes
You do have more FE against overs postflop with undercards; but you lose all FE the 33% of the time overs hit the flop.
