Limit Hold'em tournament $60 buy-in, 95 players, 13 left, 10 spots will be paid. Your table has six players. Average stack size is ~$5,500, you have ~$15,000.
Blinds are 1000, 1500, no antes yet. You have the big blind.


UTG ($3000)
MP1 ($2000)
CO ($4500)
Button ($17000)
SB ($6000)
Hero($15000)

Preflop : Hero is BB ($1500 up) with (3 /images/graemlins/club.gif, 5 /images/graemlins/club.gif). The table folds to the Button, who limps. SB calls at a discount, and you tap to go.

Flop : ($4500) (2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif , 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif , 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif). You decide to bet out. Button calls, SB folds. (2 players)

Turn : ($7500) (3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif). You likey, and bet again ($3000). However, the button raises, and you've been put to a decision. You have $10,500 left, and need to decide whether to take on the big stack. Fold, call and reraise are all possible here. Comments invited.

You don't think that the limping button says something like "slow-played overpair"? I have a lot of trouble seeing any limped hand that beats me here (A4, obviously, but doesn't he raise that PF?) I put my money in and hope for a call, but don't worry if I get a fold, because my 3355 is easily counterfeited on the river.
