Did it matter, would you have done thte same?

Blinds are 100/200, I am chip leader with $8600.

I am BB (6,9 suited hearts)
UTG (2nd in chips with $8200) calls 200

folded back to me, I check.

Flop 7, 8, 10 rainbow.....

How would you have played this? UTG is tight, been folding approx. 50% of his hands.

UTG calls KK $8000, i am returned $600

I don't like your play here. Why put 8k+ into an unraised pot with the 2nd nut straight? Doesn't make sense. You actually want calls. Rather ironic that his call you didn't want but got it anyway.

A bet like that would chase a reasonable player out (unless he's thinking at the 3rd level but I digress). Based on your read of him, was he weak enough (or strong enough) to risk all his chips on a limped hand?

How you play here depends on your image at the table and his as well as your read of how he'll react. I'd go in with a bet of maybe half to three-quarters of the pot. If he comes over the top, you can guess his hand isn't as strong as yours but you gotta wonder if he limped with 9Js into the nut straight. This has happened to me before and yes, I lost all my chips.

He got incredibly lucky. Shit happens.

I knew he would call, every hand he played, if he called BB or the raise he was in until the end, if he was in he was in. But I put him on AK to A10, cause he only limped, when he had pockets he raised, he only seamed to played paint.

I knew he was in, he would not have called 9 J at the BB, this guy was tight, tight, tight, only wanted to play paint.

I wouldn't normally push so early in the game, but I saw a chance to eliminate and double up and knowing what UTG had been playing alight, and listening to him talk to his buddy's outside at the smokebreak, I new he would have had to have pocket paints, or suited paint to call the BB. And on a rainbow flop, figured no flush even if he is suited.

That was my reason for it, now this was a rebuy tournament, so that makes a difference it that hand as well, for both of us.

So you knew for sure that he's going to call anything to the end no matter what and that he is not holding J9.

Seems like an easy push to me...

On numerous occasions, I saw him fold pockets under ten, and yes if he was in for the big blind he was in till the end. He played like that alnight and hit 4 spots from money. Once this guy was in a pot, he was in a pot.

Regardless of what he did in the past I don't like the play. In the first post you said that he was a tight "player". Ususally tight players will not call to the river with nothing. Anyways what if this player folds to your bet this one time, you extract only the blinds with a 2nd nut flopped str8. I would check this flop so fast that you would fold anyways because you would know i was strong.

Lots of chips AND the chip leader. I am feeling good.

Cha-ching! Woohoo! Who's your daddy! OK... calm down. How do I get ALL of his chips. I will bet out here about 1/2 the pot. I am hoping that he has something AND that he will re-raise. I am hoping to get him comitted to the pot.

Mother lode! Oh yeah. Exactly what I hoped for... get him all in with a measly overpair. Bwahahaha.
