I'm looking for some feedback on this hand. 100 players in this $15+1 double-shootout, top 6 payout (1st = $650 W$, 2nd-4th = $73, 5th-6th = $68). 7 players remaining, I'm 4th in chips.
MP2 has been playing aggressively trying to steal some blinds to rebuild his stack for several hands in a row unsuccessfully. I feel my hand is way ahead of his range, and I was interested in either isolating him in an effort to knock him out, or else getting him to fold. I'm curious about what others think of my play here.
Edit: I should also mention that I'm "playing for first", not just "playing to cash".
