"Jerry Yang is opening for so much pre-flop and there were so much dead money in the blinds and antes. If I move in there I'm adding like 30% to my stack if he folds. I wanted to remain the same temperament pre-flop and didn't want to move all-in on the flop and him get a tell and make a call and feel bad about it. I wanted to end it right there, I wanted to gain the proper equity possible. Because if he's calling with Jacks he understands he's ahead of me, so I might as well get it all in pre-flop to maintain my 48% [46%] underdog [status]. But with the dead money in the pot it's a winning play I think."

Not sure I agree with all of that but it was a certainly a tough spot.
