No limit holdem tournment, rebuy period has ended and the blinds are at $25/50. All fold to the button who calls (stack $2500), I call in the small blind (stack $1100) with 8c7c, and the BB taps the table (stack about $1800). Flop comes 853 with two hearts. I bet $200, BB flat calls, and the button folds. Turn is a Ten which puts 2 of diamonds on the board. What is my play?


The BB is a excellent player and will almost certainly bet if I check. His call of the flop means either a draw or that he has flopped at least two pair. A bet of of $400/500 may not be enough to make him fold a flush draw if he has overcards (assuming that the Ten did not already pair him.
