Final Table Spot

[inDiGo]

Been playing very tight throughout the final table up to this point and decided to switch gears to exploit my image. Attempted a blindsteal with J9o and was called by a winning MTT regular who has been playing a fairly wide range aggresively throughout the final table. After flopping trips I made a standard continuation bet hoping to get reraised by a mid-to-low pocket pair a flush draw and a lot of air. When this reraise occurred I shoved all-in. Was my play and reading of the situation correct? Or should I have played the hand differently?

Looks good. You can't just call the raise leaving like 13k back and he is calling most of the time, so just sticking it in is fine.

Preflop I prefer 5k. It prob has the same amount of folding equity while saving you 1k the times where you don't steal successfully.

Ok thanks. He had KJo and knocked me out so this is a fairly results-orientated query. I assumed that I was ahead of his range and line their the majority of the time - however is there any way I could or perhaps should have been able to put him on a J? For instance based on his check-raise line? Or maybe taken into account the possibility of 44? I would assume that the hands he could have here are:

Which beat me: AJ. KJ. QJ JT. 44

Which don't: 22-88 AK AQ AT KQ KT QT

And potentially even flush draws ranging from 56-T9. And very rarely a line like AA-QQ

Your play was fine. NH.

You're definitely crushing his range. He is prob bluffing here sometimes too. If he has a better J you suckout/chop a decent amount of the time as well.

This is just a cooler.

This is wildly standard.

I'm not sure I understand why you are posting the hand. Do you think anybody is going to tell you to fold to his flop c/r?

Its just a cooler.
