    Champ48: raises 1253 to 2153 and is all-in
    PARELLANO33: folds
    Hydroseeds: ????

    Possible hands: Slowplayed high pair, AT or KT, 22, or maybe even trying to bluff thinking I don't hold a 10.

    This guy was playing more tight than loose. I figured he probably held a ten with a kicker higher than mine...a boat is probably calling the flop bet, and I hadn't seen him slowplay before the flop so I had no reason to suspect he did it this time. Bluffing was unlikely, since any smart player would realize that I attempted to slowplay and reraised when I got action.

    How do you handle this?

    If he is generally a tight player then he has you beat... You say bluffing is unlikely then your play should be simple fold... He more then not has you beat with a kicker since yours isnt that great... You still have enough chips to still be in this tournament with a lay down here and keep urself thriving rather then take ur chance. your gettin about 4:1 odds on this pot but its honestly also guy feeling you say hes tight and wouldnt bluff then he has you and you should fold
    I am that fish...


    currently broke as a joke...
