Late in a limit holdem tournament getting very close to the money, about 3 spots out of it. The table is 8 handed and playing extreamly tight with no short stacks and rarley any flops being taken. Blinds at 600-1200 I have a medium stack around 6000 in chips,
I get 10-10 utg and raise, a big problem hand for me late in tournaments. Since I had just raised the hand before with K-Qs and won the blinds this raise may have looked a little suspicious(like I was raising with other than a primo hand). The cutoff an agressive player with a larger stack 3 bets folded to me I call. This player likes to do a lot of semibluff raising on the flop. Flop is 8-9-k rainbow. Is this a check fold situation? I can think of many hands this guy could have that are worse than mine.
I bet, he raises I call fast, hoping he will check the turn with a worse hand than mine. Turn comes blank 3(8-9-k). I check he bets I fold. I still have around 3000 and a reasonable shot at the money. If I call him down on the turn and river and lose I'm extreamly short stacked and will definatly be the next one out. Would any others play this hand different?
