Wel I was going to write something snarky about Jack not understanding what ~ means, but you're right....I was considering my stack rather than villains.

Having said that, doesn't this tighten his range down even further since he has to know that if I have a hand after his min-raise then we're playing for stacks?

Now to my thought processes on the hand after seeing what people have to say.

* Pre-flop I looked at his stats and position and decided I would smooth call rather than 3-bet since if he just called I still wouldn't have much info on the flop and now my hand is disguised fairly well if he is holding what I had put him on (JJ+/AQ+) and I get a favourable flop

* On the flop my plan was always to c/r a non-A flop. Given my hand is under-repped I assume if he's holding something at the bottom of his range then he'll likely fold to a decent reraise or call with overs to see what happens on the turn. Once he min-raises I think that narrows his range down to AA/AK with the A of diamonds or AQs....ok, possibly he's holding a pocket pair that has now hit a set.

I can't see his line (at this level) be anything but a hand that's quite happy to play for stacks against the big stack at the table (since if I call he has a little over a psb left and the turn and river to come) and I don't see how I'm not behind to it here.

I'm willing to accept that not raising pre made this hand harder, but I don't think it was a totally bad move at the time based on my read of his stats and play up till then so I'm interested to hear opinions now on the thoughts I had that led to my play over all.
