I think you all know what kind of people I'm talking about when I say calling station. Recently I've played a tournament with about 300 people (5$ buy-in). 35 people were left and I think the first 30 would have won something. I raised about half my stack preflop with JQ, he called. Flop was 693 (rainbox) both checked, turn J, we both checked again because I figured he might have a strong hand. After the 7 on the river he checked and I moved all-in because I really thought he had nothing at all but could be dominated by a high card.
Of course the calling station called me with nothing but a K high and I finished 35th.
Why do people play like that play real money and finish at a top place?
if u think he can hold better hand then u, just check it, dont try to steal, cause u would be called just with better hand, so dont risk too much on stealing with hand that can be beaten. just check and show

I think so too,
after all the calls, maybe he thought you are bluffing?
i'm not blaming him, many people does that, espaccialy on the low buy-in tourneys.
next time matbe you will raise the minimum, and that will make him fold his hand, and not chasing something.

he beat your pair of Jacks with King high to put you out in 35th ?
