Boba is playing with a good edge against most people he's up against, why should he reduce that edge by accepting coinflips?

Boba

Some people have touched on this here.. and I think now you have the hindsight of what your opponent had its just eating at you. Let it go, regret is just a bag of bricks that weighs you down!

I personally would have opened much stronger on AK than you seem to have done, just calling would not have sat well with me.

Your opponent never had to make any decision in this hand, it was always played on his terms.

Just my 2 cents

Cheers for the input guys.

He did have JJ, he's my mate from work and I said at the time I thought it was JJ or TT and he said it was JJ, he later confirmed it was JJ.

I agree for the most part with the replies here. TBH I don't care if i bust this hand at this stage in the tourny, I've got AK and I'm putting the pressure on. I'd have most likely raised it to 2k preflop, if JJ 3 or 4 bets me to 6-8k I'm all in. In doing that you're not "accepting a coinflip" (TightPaul) you are forcing your opponent to a decision. If he calls with JJ and he holds I shrug my shoulders and move on.

When I started out playing poker i thought AK was a brilliant hand, then as i got to learn the game I lost faith as I constantly lost all ins to pocket pairs, now I've gone back to loving it again, and playing it as aggressively as possible in middle to late stages of tournaments - and my results have improved dramatically.

As someone noted, the money is always at the top. Get those chips in!
