| | | |  Well, that's one way to lose
Got to the final table of a 180-person sit n go with 2nd in chips and went out in 8th place to the chip leader... Maybe I didn't raise enough preflop, what do you think? His call from the small blind was really loose in my opinion, but I knew his range of hands was really wide, I'd seen him 3-bet with 44.
Had a bad feeling about the hand the whole way it played out, he was the one I didn't want to get into a big pot with... what can you do? I wouldn't have been happy with anything but 1st, the money wasn't a big deal ($4 tourney).
The elusive 1st place finish still to be found.

not really any way you couldve got away from that, good betting all through. If he'd have pushed on the river I might have been able to talk myself into folding (str8 and flush opportunites), but on the turn there was really nothing you could do. bad luck, hope you win one soon  | | |

Hate it when that happens. Never fails that its the trip card that kills your hand in those situations. You stiil could have caught the boat but no luck. You play very well though.

Personally, I am very wary of check-call-checks (possibly because I pull them off a number of times myself  ). Personally, I would have simply checked the turn, then bet the river, 14.5k sounds about right, and then would have folded to his re-raise. In terms of his preflop call...you could make cases either way. You could make the argument that you were simply making a steal attempt being that you were on the button, and well...you have chips to make a steal. Last night I was playing a live game with some friends, for a good majority of the time I was second in chips, and while I was making a decent number of steal attempts, I would never do so if the chip leader was in the blind. If I did, he usually called, and I proceeded to check it down unless I hit the flop hard (he was a bit of a calling station, didn't care about the money, and thus hard to read).

 Bad luck there. I had almost the same happen to me 3 days ago. Same hands( no diamond on the river in my hand but that isnt a factor here) I played it much the same as you and lost also.

Its very hard to escape from trips there
As a general rule you do want to avoid tangling with the other chip leader when you do not have the nuts but much would depend on comparative chip stacks of the other players.
The question you have to ask yourself is what did you think he had when he reraised you on the turn? Following on from that did you pause and think about what he might have before you called? It would be quite easy to read him as a) bluffing b) holding ak etc in which case you were fine. I have found myself sometimes in these positions where I call almost instantly and did not really think about it. It is important with big decisions that you do give them some thought before pressing buttons. If that was done and you do not put him on kq, aa etc or felt there were enough credible hands that were worse than yours that he would have played then you have nothing to regret. | | |

My thought process on the hand was as follows:
Betting preflop: "Hope I just take this down now with JJ"
When he called me preflop: "Shit, the one guy I don't want to call"
On the flop: "The only good flop is one with a Jack... unless he has KQ..."
When he flat-called the flop bet: "He's either trapping, thinks he's trapping, or has a spade draw..."
On the turn: "The only hand that beats me is KQ... I don't think he has AA, he would've pushed it preflop. Can't give a free card for a spade..."
Once he check-raised: "Okay...KQ is looking like a good possibility, esp with this player's range of callable hands... The odds he might be doing this with J10, AJ maybe... and the fact that 3/4th of my chips are in already... I have to call even if he does have KQ, I have 10 outs to fill up"
When he showed his cards: "God !@$!@ are you !##!@% serious..."
After the hand: "nh GG."

) dictates that you will/can only get involved with hands like that on the FT against the only player at the table able to bust you out!
