Good points Talormade, My view on the 21k bet was that I was going to make him pay to suck out on me, as I thought I was in front. I thought he had a K J or K Q type of hand so I was very happy to put all the chips in. If I had checked I am sure I would have faced an all in bet (which I would have called) and a smaller bet would have got a reraise or maybe an all in. I am not un happy with the way I played the pot and hope the monkey keeps calling with K 4.
You are right I could have sat back on the final table and seen cheap flops in the hope of getting a big hand, however this type of play tends to leave you short stacked when the table gets down to 4 or 5 left. and its very difficult to make the big money then (1st or 2nd). I think again I was the aggressor and got my money in very good. Win that pot and I would have gone on to win!!
