Interesting Tilt Situation

Interesting Hand

On the previous hand, Villain (currently on) SB flopped a flush with T7cl, went all-in, got called by Jcl the board turned a club. In chat he said ‘unreal’.

I open for like 5.5x in MP with KTo. CO clicks the raise button and BT calls. SB jams.

So my thoughts here is after the suckout, I smell a tilt jam. I have him covered more than double and I have 2 broadways. I am aware of two callers behind and I wanted iso with tilted SB so I jam over, but my error was that I didn’t realize that CO had raised me (oops!).

CO calls, BT folds. Up and over. I had just shoved into bullets and he had me barely covered. I felt. That’s okay. My bad, live and learn. :frowning:

Interesting points …

If CO had flat called me, I think it’s a good shove, but (obviously) bad when he 3-bets.

I don’t like the SB play here. A9o jam is a steal. This is NOT a good spot to steal. If the table is weak, the SB is a GREAT position to steal (especially with an A) but this table is STRONG. Jamming into 5x open AND a 3-bet (and another call) with a naked ace?

Which also brings up anti-tilt. If I had just lost a large pot suckout on the previous hand and feeling a bit grrrr, I’m folding such an okay hand before I do something dumb with it while my emotions are a touch unsettled. A prime hand, different story, but a good-okay hand, no.

What do y’all think? It’s just a cool hand to dissect. Agree with my analysis? Am I way off base?

First your gut instincts on the tilt shove were pretty good, but your situational awareness let you down as you already pointed out. The three bet and call before the shove probably got camouflaged a bit and you walked into AA. Early in a tournament having a player three bet in a 2500 tournament should set off red flags Bad players would Jam with a monster hand, a good players try and induce a jam. And in this case two jams

Obviously the villians play was poor but jamming with several limpers, a raise, a three bet and a call in front of him, one can assume he at least has an ace as he is jamming with 35 BB left or they are flat punting (either it likely if they are tilted) so I wouldn’t fault your play had the CO not been still to act. Calling the all in with KT off is kind of iffy that early in the tournament as well, but with a strong hand behind raising is basically a bluff that is going to be called. Plus in a 2.5K tournament even in the first level, people are calling looser anyway and at best you are playing bingo (Thinking the button would have called light had the CO not jammed).
