Rebuy Tourney: Hand 6, I'm behind when the chips go in
This is pretty much the *only* significant hand all tourney where I had the worst of it with a lot of chips going in.
This is the hand I've been thinking the most about how I played it. Comments very much appreciated.
The opponent was new to the table, so I had no real read on him. More importantly, I knew that he had *not* seen the very aggressive style I had been playing with at this table.

Comments
The fact that he was new means he is completely unpredictable, and that's a good flop to use to bluff into a preflop raiser. Unfortunately, he wasn't bluffing. Would you play it the same way again?
