Thanks for the input...my thinking was I could push him off his hand, and worse case scenario if he called I would be in a race. This was correct. He held JJ (Villian2 called with 88 as well). I lost the race. If I had one I would have been chip leader in tourn. So I'm still not sure about my play. I mean I pushed him, if I take pot there I pick up almost 3k, if he calls then we race. But it was on him to call his stack off, pressure was on him not me. It's not like I'm looking to race everytime (was only 2nd race for me in tourn) but I was prepared to. I guess I'm wondering if this is a good philosophy or not.

Thanks
