This was a $500 buy in with top two receiving all the money. We had 149 entrants so 1st was like 45K and 2nd 22.5K - no deal making allowed.

Anyways, we were down to 11 players and I had a 40bb stack in the bb at blinds 600/1200. The sb who is a good somewhat aggressive regular, with same stack as mine, 3x's it to 3600 and I elect to 3 bet to 10,800 with TT. Sb shoves. I snap. Sb has JJ, I don't set and I'm out. Devastating as I was so hoping to have my first 5 figure score. :-(

I have been rethinking the hand all night and I think a call to lower variance would have been a better route since we were both about 40bb deep. Otherwise, I think I should have checked his stats on 4 betting over 3 betting and figured out his range before just thinking oh blind v blind, TT monster.

Maybe this is all hindsight and my analysis is simply skewed by the unpleasant result. Thoughts?
