At this point there is NO REASON for him to be bluffing as his bet creates a side pot if you want to create one. The reason this should never be a bluff is that he is betting half your stack, and he wins NOTHING if you fold, because of the all-in player.
i know, and i totaly realized that this morning when after i woke up, with a clear head, along with some other few mistakes i made. i noted them really, really well on how i plaid the hand, and why i did what i did.

i picked up Harrington on Hold'em 1 and 2, along with "Phil Hellmuth's Texas Hold'em"

this tournement really opened my eyes more to poker, and showed me that if i get more serious with it, and hone my skills, i wont be 1/2 bad at the game... it also gave me more insentive to win next time theres a tourney like this in town.
