Live tournament, $60 entry + 10 Add on(1500 total chips), w/ one 40 rebuy(1000 chips)
20 minute rounds, lvl 7, blinds are 300/600 w/50 ante
58 entries,42 rebuys, First pays 1750ish, 7th pays 180ish
21 players left

7 handed, I have ~t7000 bigger than some, smaller than others, no one that I can't hurt.
I have a conservative table image. I have raised the table coach twice without a call and have recently put out a smaller stack with solid play.
UTG folds, UTG+1 limps.
I look down at AQ spades, I'm not limping here , so I make it 1800 to go. I'd like to isolate the limper or take it down.If the coach comes in Ive got to be careful, I don't think he wants to go up against me without something big.
To my immediate right, a gentleman of 50 or 60 yrs, who has also been conservative takes about ten seconds and goes all in. Folds back to me.
IMO
There is a .00000001 chance he's bluffing
There is a 5% he has AJ, 5% AQ, 25% he has AK and 64% chance he has a pair smaller than queens and a 1% chance his pair is top 3.
In the pot,350(antes)+ 900(blinds)+ 600(limper)+ 1800(my raise)+ 7100(the all in)=10750. I've got 5200 left.
I am getting 2-1+ on what is most likely a coin flip.
If I fold I will need to go all in fairly soon with a hand that may be better or worse, no way to tell.
I call.
He turns over a pair of nines. They hold up.
I walked away more satisfied than I ever have been after busting out. I knew the table, I knew the hand, I think I played it well.
