I've been seeing this all the time lately...Can someone explain this to me?
(No sarcasm - I actually want to know the thought process behind it...IF there is one...)
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (3 handed)

Button (t4045)
SB (t4380)
Hero (t6575)

================
I *KNOW* the guy outplayed me with his paired King-in-the-hole POST-flop...
...felt priced into calling his all-in...
(Should I fold there?..)
I only ever will make this play against a villain who I think will check/fold the flop *IF* he calls the raise PF and *IF* he doesn't pair.
I know that I get aggressive late in tourneys and the guy thinks to double up if he hits...but he loses half his stack when he doesn't...
So....
1/3 of the time he doubles up...
2/3 of the time he loses half his stack...
In all honesty - I want to know what these fish/weak-tight players are thinking.
Edit: I'm gonna start check/folding King high flops in these spots.
