We're about two hours into the Fitz End Of Month tourney, last hand before the first break. Thoughts on all streets welcome, was a pretty unusual hand, and hopefully generates some discussion.
Hero is Middle Position with ~18k, doubled early KK>AJ.
BTN has ~20k.
BB has ~9k.
Preflop: Blinds 75/150
Folds to Hero, dealt Th-Td and raises 200 to 350.
BTN calls 350 (An IPB reg with a very solid TAG game, and I assume he has respect for my game too, so I expect a decent hand here most of the time).
SB folds, and BB calls 200 (He is a tricky fish, has spewed some but capable).
Flop: Ac-Js-Ts (1125)
BB checks.
Hero bets 650.
BTN calls in rhythm.
BB raises to 2650 (looked to be counting out a call at first, then suddenly opted to pick up two extra 1k chips and raise).
Hero calls.
BTN calls.
So my thought process went like this; BTN calling my cbet was worrying, as this board smacks my range so hard, and he knows it, so the quick call is likely a clear sign of a hand.
Once BB re-raised I glanced over and BTN appeared quite calm, so now alarm bells are going off and I'm giving significant weight to the possibility I could already be beat in one spot here.
If I re-raise to iso the BB and BTN comes over the top I'm committed to calling the shove and our stacks are so deep I just thought I'd find out cheaper where I was by flatting and seeing what BTN does. If he then iso shoves I can probably fold knowing he has the nuts. I also expect him to fold here a lot with the strength on show, so when he called behind I felt like shooting myself lol.
Turn: 4s (9075)
BB considers the board for a moment then shoves ALL IN for ~6k.
Hero... ?
