    Playing a $30 freezout, 40 players started with top 6 making the money. Down to 17 left with the blinds at 400/800 and I've got 18.000 in chips, which puts me in the top 3 in chips. Just got moved to this table about 1 orbit ago, although I've played with most of the table on numerous other occasions.

    Previoius hand I raise the button and everyone folds, I show JJ. Now I look down at the AKhh and make the same raise I make before to 2200, the small blind who is a good friend and somebody who I've probably played more with than anybody else I know shoves for an additional 14,000.

    He's probably the best player left in the tournament at this point and is capable of making a play here, but I put his range on 77+ and AK, AQ and maybe even AJ. With the blilnds being the way they were I felt like I need to gamble here and if I won I'd have a huge stack and would be able to play more aggressively and continue to chip up.

    The rest of the field was relatively weak playing super nittish, playing it more like a deep stack live tourney as opposed to what it truely was since the average stack at this point was about 8500. This hand seems pretty standard, but did I need to risk most of my stack in this spot or could I have folded and continued to abuse the shorter stacks?
