Personally I would have folded pre-flop, with a marginal hand why mess with a guy who,
a: is the only guy on the table who can hurt you
b: you know to be an agressive player
c: is one of the better players left

After the flop I'm happy to check along, you have the option to raise any turn or river bet MLG might throw at you whatever cards come, and you would know more about his hand if he called/raised you.

As it panned out I think you get called by if Mike has a K a 9 or a PP (though if he had a PP he probably reraises pre flop)
All of which put you in serious trouble.

Like the title of your post,are you really playing this because you want to say you outplayed MLG or are you playing it because you think its the correct play?
