Thanks for the replies.

Next time - I close the action with a speculative hand.

Do you run the risk of being run over by an aggressive player when you play as tight as is suggested? Is the strategy generally to allow yourself to be run over, but then trap the aggressor later on when you make a big hand?

Your point is really good that there were a lot of "limping" hands that beat my top pair. Still, I was surprised that I got a call on the turn from a player on a draw. Turns out he had 14 outs to beat top pair: a pair and a flush draw, a little better than 2:1 and losing doesn't cost him the tournament. I shouldn't have been surprised.

If I keep the pot small pre-flop and after the flop, I can make it wrong to call with a draw and still have chips left if he plays back and I have to surrender -- or am I just setting myself up to be trapped?
