I can appreciate the insight to lay it down, but it's not something i would of done. 3 reasons. #1. The buy-in of the game ($2) #2. How early in the game it was (level 1). #3. Having the chip(s) you had compared to the opponents still in the hand (3220 - 1715).

Based on those 3 factors i make the call. "But thats just me. I like to gamble".
I think it was Dewey Oxburger (Stripes) who once said that. lol

i knew he had QJ and i saw no reason to continue with the hand. i know it was a cheap buy in in early level but i want to win so i made a play based on instincts. but i can definately see your point
