    final table 7 remaining CL at 58K
    I'm at 25K
    Blinds 1000-2000

    On BB with KQo
    Button go all in for 8K
    I call
    he shows AK
    Dam

    down to 17K

    But that one is very bad!!!
    KQ on BB again I have 16K
    55K limp button -1
    I check!!!!!! WTF!!!!

    flop comes J10x
    I bet 2k
    he raise 6K
    I call!!!! WTF!!!!

    turn Q
    I go all in!!! WTF!!!!
    He calls and shows QJ

    No flop is no terrible He already told me he had a J... so prbably J10 or QJ maybe KJ or J9,

    But I should have been more cautious on the turn

    KJ

    First hand - you're still 7 handed, don't go calling this all in with KQ. If he so much as has A2 you're an underdog - at best you're likely a coinflip. You still have an M of 9 - this should be enough to threaten even the big stack so you should be thinking steal, not confrontation.

    BTW: It's not your job to bust the shorties.

    Second hand. OK, now M is down to 5. Now you are looking for a confrontation (although you can still hurt even the CL). All in or fold. KQ, while a nice hand, is going to be an underdog or a coin flip a lot of the time, and we want to apply maximum pressure to the CL here and get him to fold hands that are just better than us or worse. Once he see's the flop, he's seen 5/7's of his hand, so it's just too much information to give away when what you really want is him to fold. Just be happy to pick up his limp, the SB, and your BB back. I mean it's more than a third of your stack.
