    I may have raised a little more pre flop....maybe to 180-200 instead of 140. As far as the laying QQ down. I've done it in similar positions so I can't really knock it.
    It's not how many pots you win, it's what's in them that counts.

    I don't think it's an easy fold, but at this buyin and with your read that opp is a winning multitabler, I think this is a fold. I just cannot see a winning multitabler doing this with JJ, and whether he would do it with AK is questionable if he knows you're also a winning reg.

    I assume AKo is in his range.. I just can't see him doing it that much with JJ.

    As for the raise, I raised it to 200, not 140.

    I ran the ICM on this and we need to be 47.8% to win to make this a good call:

    - Fold: 1270 chips, 9.6% of the prize pool
    - Call/win: 2960 chips, 20.1%
    - Call/lose: 10 chips, effectively out.

    If opp's range is QQ+, AKo/AKs then we're only 40% to win so have to fold this. If opp's range is JJ+, AKo then it's really close.

    Well, JJ would be the least likely hand for him to shove here imo.. I wouldn't weight it equally with the other hands if we were to throw it in his range.

    multi-tablers are pretty tight early on.. so it's really close.. I think it's not a mistake both ways..

    Re raise.....I may have raised it 180 instead of 140.
