Default Re: Hand from $5000 Guaranteed - Empire

His minraise preflop and less-than-pot sized bet on the flop scream that he is just trying to extract chips (especially given the fact that you seem to have reason to respect his play). I would put him on a high pocket pair here most of the time. I think you played it pretty much right.

I wouldn't come over the top because even if he doesn't have a monster, you have VERY little fold equity given the amount of chips in the pot and what he will be forced to call. So you'll essentially be calling an allin with a backdoor straight/flush draw and a couple overcards (which may or may not be good). It's pretty weak. I think you were right to lay it down.
