Default Heads-up for the win...

I had been bullying my entire table in this SNG. I flopped top set on the very first hand, and just abused my chip lead from start to finish. I got really lucky on the last hand though... I picked up pocket jacks, and played them a bit too fast.

How would you have handled JJ in this situation? Keep in mind that this guy was getting sick of being pushed around... I won about 70% of the pots three-handed, and 90% or so heads-up. He knows I don't have to have a huge hand.

maybe pushed a little harder preflop JJ is very good heads up but still dangerous to let hands like Ax Kx in. I dont know why so hard of a push on the turn although you have a good hand with above middle pair hes playing like he has a K and top pair heads up is usually ok to play to the end with especially with a good kicker. Doesnt matter either way because once the river came you both would have moved all-in anywayz.

'eclinchy: calls 900'

thats were you messed up. - If the guy was getting sick of you bullying him, then I think he was calling any pre-flop raise with KQ. so the pre-flop play was right i think, but I would have folded JJ when he reraised after the flop. I don't have a problem folding pocket pairs with overcards on teh board.
