Got it in Good, But not Good Enough!

At this stage of the tournament I need to get some chips pretty quick. The blinds are rising fast and with the ante kicking in makes me desperate for a all in type of situation. I don’t normally like to go all in pre flop with pocket jacks, especially to call off all my chips but it seemed like a good spot to double up Player 1 (J J): win 53.90% lose 45.71% tie 0.38% Player 2 (A Q): win 45.71% lose 53.90% tie 0.38%
