Longish Story (if you don't want to read skip down to where it says Hand): I had a nice Sat. and won 2 $109 seats on Bodog. I keep a limited amt. on just a few sites, and usually cash out when I get it to 400-500 bucks just to spend on bills or something for the kids. My last cashout about 45 days ago I used to buy my daughter some new golf clubs, she's getting pretty good and had outgrown the old ones.
Anyway, point of all that is that I obv. don't keep enough online to EVER play a hundred-dollar tourney, even if I won 2 seats. Better for me to just play 20 $10 tourneys, however I felt like I was playing pretty good lately, I was fresh, so I decided to take a shot at the Bodog $109 20k. 144 entered, lots of regulars and big names (Thayer, Dyzalot, alcarmo, rusostreet, rushstreet, etc.) so I wasn't intimidated but def. knew I had to bring my a-game and then get really lucky. Even then, if I lose I lose, I still have the other 109 in T$. Poker is my part-time hobby/2nd job so this isn't a real bankroll I'm risking.
I got lucky on an early hand and doubled up to 6k (starting stack 3k) on a hand I didn't play particularly well but got lucky on the river. After that, I played what I consider relatively well and built it up to 12.5k when the avg. was around 7.5.
Hand: $109 buy in, $20k guarantee on Bodog. Two times previously it had folded to the sb when I was the big and he had raised 4-5x, both times I had come over the top all in and he folded (not a name player, seemed to just be hanging around). Now he was around 5k at this pt., I am at 12.5k, blinds are 300/600, and I believed the next time he had a marginal hand b v. b he would just shove. So it folds to him, and he does just that. I have AJo, and I really believe I am crushing his range here, and that anything better than AJ he just makes the standard raise (or even limps) hoping I come over the top one more time. If it matters to anyone there are about 50 players left and 18 places pay.
So, do you call with AJ in this spot?
