This hand has really been bothering me. Can anybody give me some advice?

$5.50 PokerStars 9-person SnG, Villain has been pretty tight since it became short-handed.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

Hero (t2690)
Button (t3950)
SB (t2770)
BB (t4090)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Hero calls t200, Button calls t200, SB folds, BB checks.

Flop: (t700) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to t1200</font>, BB folds, Hero calls t600.

Turn: (t3100) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t400</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to t800</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t4300

Thoughts on how I should have played this?
Thanks.

This may seem weak-tight but I would have folded preflop. You're quite a bit above 10BB, even after the blinds. The alternative is to raise 3BB as a steal and hope nobody calls or plays back at you. I may also do this, depends on the table to be honest. I would not just limp though. Ever.

raise pf. push on the favorable flop.

tigerrite, in a $5 match on the bubble, what are your requirements of a raising hand? maybe im just dealt rags, but KT is a monster on the bubble for me.

It's raisable if I have 10BB or less, but then I go all in with it. Or if I am on the button here, then I raise it to 2.5-3BB definitely. However from UTG it loses a lot of its strength, IMO, even 4 handed. Unless you raise and get the gap concept working for you. However I just don't know if you are risking too much at this stage when you don't need to, by trying to steal with it (which is, after all, what you're doing - you'd fold to a re-raise). Your stack's pretty healthy right now. As I say, it would depend on the table dynamics. But I never, _ever_ limp here. Unless I have AA or KK and someone's being aggressive!

Assume I raise PF, he calls...I still can't push him off of having A10.

With just being weak and limping pf, how would u guys have played postflop and turn. I put the guy on AT or heart draw with the post flop raise with possiblity of a K10,Q10.
I'm thinkin when the heart came on the turn i should've check-folded.

[tigerite]

He won't respect any flop bets or raises because you limped. That's the problem.

[raptor517]

this is a fold preflop. period.

[Unarmed]

This is a close one for me but I'm raising this PF unless I've been stealing like crazy.

Given the action and your read on villain I fold to the flop raise.
