I'm 7th or 8th out of 10 players remaining in a tournament that had 40+ entries on PokerStars. Pays 9 places, so game is proceeding hand-for-hand until the bubble pops. Blinds are 200/400, and I'm CO w/KK. Folds to me, and I raise to 1200, folds to SB, who reraises to ~3k. I shove for ~11k more and he snap calls w/AJo.
I think I'm ~70% favorite preflop? No Ace or straight draws on the flop, I'm further ahead now (can't remember %), but then he gets an Ace on the Turn. No King for me on the River, and I'm out on the bubble.
I can't fold KK to a re-raise just because I'm on the bubble, right? I more than tripled his 3-bet w/my shove, so it’s not like I was short stacked and he was automatically priced in to call. But he still #%$! called me with AJo. (Though he was big stack w/close to 50k in chips...)
Is there any case to be made for just calling his reraise, then when no Ace came on the flop I shove. Since he didn't catch anything on the flop, might he have folded? (Knowing this player slightly, probably not.)
So did I play this badly, or was this just a cooler?
