Here's a hand I ran into last night, which I questioned my play afterward. I realized I wasn't sure in a tournament situation whether I made the right call.
This hand came up relatively early in a PP limit tournament. I had a slightly above average stack at the time this hand came up.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif. UTG posts a blind of t30.

Flop: (5 SB, t150) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB folds, BB folds, MP1 calls.
<font color="red">My read on MP1 was that he was a bit of a calling station, often calling to the river with 2nd pair or any draw.</font>
Turn: (3.50 BB, t210) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
MP1 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls.
<font color="red">I thought his call here now pointed to either a flush draw, something like 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifwas possible I thought, or something like A9x or ATx.</font>
River: (5.50 BB, t330) K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, Hero ??
Thoughts? I now can't beat the board, and lose to a flush or any ace. Is it worth calling him down when he all of the sudden leads out? Results to follow.
