JJ pre flop, just shove?

[action man]

the last thing im doing here is shoving unless there is some history between myself and OR

Silo you engineered a situation where you were getting 4-1, why do you make it 8k?

I was hoping it was a blind steal attempt and he'd fold.  When he didn't, I thought that as I'd just stuck 1/3 my stack in and now was playing for the chip lead, I'd best get it in.  Folding would have left me on average still though. 

I mainly called due to being in so many situations in the past where I'm missing out on gathering chips.  I'm used to scraping in the money (unless I have a decent run of cards) and wanted to be more positive and try and hit the end comp in decent shape.  This all sort of went wrong here.  I assume raising to 5.6-6k be better here? Allowing me an easier get away if I think I'm behind.  Also if matey is on the steal he's less likely to shove with a worse hand, call maybe, but shove is probably unlikely. I was close to folding

I need longer to think at the table in these sort of situations, about 12 hours should do it!

People who make it 4x the big blind in donkaments basically always have a monster hand.

unfortunatly, ur hand is too strong to pass, so just shove imo.
