    Default Punisher or Legit?

    I wanted to get your guys opinions are how often you think a move like this is just a guy punishing limpers vs the times he has a legitimate hand. Is there a time/hand to take the guy up on this? Would these suited connectors ever fall into that category or just premium hands you foolishly limped. He has played every hand in the tourney so far except for one and this is hand 14.

    Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    CO (t1525)
    Button (t1775)
    SB (t1610)
    BB (t1400)
    UTG (t1120)
    UTG+1 (t1180)
    UTG+2 (t1300)
    MP1 (t1500)
    MP2 (t2330)
    Hero (t1260)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 9, 8.
    2 folds, UTG+2 calls t30, 2 folds, Hero calls t30, CO calls t30, Button calls t30, SB raises all-in 1595, 1 fold, UTG+2 folds, Hero folds, CO folds, Button folds.

    Final Pot: t195

    If opp hasn't pulled a move like this before, there's a good chance that he has the goods. Chances are he knows that other players have noticed that he's played virtually every hand. My calling range is AA-QQ and maybe AK (although borderline).

    Heck, even though I play very tight for the first 3 levels, occasionally I pull a move like this with AA-QQ knowing that there's a reasonable chance somebody will call me...

    Wait until you have a monster and stack him. I like to slow play pre-flop against opps like this and let them make their move. Connectors are fine as long as you can get to see the flop cheap, but you certainly shouldn't be calling here.
