I think I just lot the plot here and wasted 8 hours of my life getting to a FT only to piss my tourney away. I'd like some advice about this had.

Info

I had quite a history with the villian in this MTT. Mid stage he was low/mid on chips he would often call any size raise, mine or others, call a C-Bet and would check fold to a medium raise. I had floated him twice successfully in this tourney also. On the FT I had a tight image, his was more of a callstation but was a thinker and was able to make folds if they were believeable. Before the FT I would precieve he thought my image was LAG with passive tendencies but on the FT I tightened up as he was bossing the table with his massive stack (4M) double anyone near him.

On the FT I had raised into him twice but closed down on aggression when he raised my C-Bets. He loosened up and I went the other way, conserving chips, being a nitty idiot!

Anyway, having not played a hand for a while and getting chipped down by the blinds my plan was to raise knowing he would call with any two given history, his image and bossing the table with his stack and float him off a hand. I saw him as a thinking player and thought if he called my 3-bet he would 9/10 check the flop (which he did).

This is when I started to hate myself. I went off my plan, thought (shit I've finally made an FT for once) paniced at the situation (doubted my self) and just jammed it in hoping he would fold. Looking back I don't think the jam was a good idea. With that board, with my image I could have AQ, so why jam all that in with AQ, it doesn't make sense, a check raise would have been more beleiveable?

I guess I'm asking given all of the above was the plan to float or check raise the turn a good one or not. Also, any advice on what you guys would do.

Don't hold back. I've joined TPE to learn and can take it on the chin. I used some much stuff today in the video's that Kid Cardiff and BigDogpck55's explained to my advantage today. Without it I wouldn't have made the FT today.

Cheers guys.

under 20bb AJ on the co I just jam it in pre most of the time, cause playing with that stack postflop is a lil difficult.

I would just make a normal open when theres a high possiblity that someone behind me 3b me light and I can get it in that way.

I dont quite understand what “a check raise would have been more believeable?” means, since you were in position and a check raise was not possible

Yeah, with your stack, I just open ship the AJ pre to scoop the blinds and antes in most cases and not put yourself in an awkward spot post.
