Last night in a Stars 50.00 NL tourney.
Haven't played many hands and was down to 1300 in chips with 25/50 Blinds.
In the small blind was dealt KQo.
All fold to me and complete.
The BB with about 3000 in chips raised to 150 and I called.
Flop comes T Q K rainbow. With 300 in the pot I checked my 2 pair. At this point I figured I would have to fold to a raise and a push is only getting called by a made straight.
BB over bets the pot to 750. I was surprised by the bet and had a couple ideas as to what that would represent. What would an over bet signify?
My feeling was that was too strong for a made straight. If he had the straight he would probably underbet the flop and maybe try to entice a bluff from me on the turn. Or check behind.
It could also signify a huge hand but I think that KK and QQ are unlikely given my holding and TT would probably be pushed.
That left me thinking he could have KQ, QJ, KJ, AK or possibly AA.
Given my read: correct or not I decide to put it back on him and pushed in. Calling 750 of my now 1150 stack felt wrong so I pushed allin.
He called flips over A3o.
Long story short he hit a J on the river and I was busted.
Should have I played the hand any differently?
On the flop should I bet out and fold to any kind of raise?
Is this hand scary enough to check fold with any action from the BB?
Thanks
