I was the $3500/$2500 chip leader at the heads up end of a sit n go. The blinds were $100/$200 with a $25 ante. On the button, I was dealt K 6 off suit. I opened for a $300 raise. (That did not suggest much about my hand because whenever I'm heads up, when I open in the small blind, I always raise 1.5 X the big blind.) My opponent called. The flop was K 9 3 rainbow. BB checked; I bet $500; BB raised all in. I thought that I probably had the best hand, but figured if I didn't, I was dominated. I also figured that if I lost, I was crippled, but if I folded, I was still the chip leader. Finally, I thought that I was the better player, and that time was on my side. I folded. The BB showed his Q 3, and eventually won the sit n go. Was my laydown stupidly timid, or reasonable?
