Late in tourney, still 30 out of money but I have a very large stack and BB is large stack in tourney. He seems to be a skilled player, but only have been at the table for a few rotations. What would you do in this spot?

after raising the turn you have to call the reraise as he could be pushing any number of hands you beat. hands like 89, J9, QK. I don't like your raise here on the turn. Call here and hope he bets the river. there is nothing wrong with calling instead of raising if a reraise will make you throw up.

I would bet the flop most of the time here. 3500-5000 should be about right.
Let him continue to bet into you on the river. Short of the board pairing again or another heart coming out, I can't imagine being able to lay this down.

Thanks for the comments - i realize now i should have called his bet on the turn and river, but - in any case, when he goes all in on me and has me covered, is this an easy fold considering my tourney is over if he has the boat?

it's certainly not an "easy" fold. It's not an easy anything. This one is close, but I would likely call since doubling would be huuuuge at this point.

No likely about it here for me, I'm definitely calling this bet and assuming I am ahead.
