I don't have the hand history

Party 30K guar Tourny -- Top 180 get paid, down to 100 players, and blinds are 500-1000

8 handed
SB - Tight Player (10K)
BB - Loose (18K)
UTG fold
UTG+1 fold
UTG +2 Fold
MP1 call
MP2 Fold
Button (16K) AKo Raise to 5500

SB calls, BB Calls, MP1 folds

Flop Ac 4d 7h

SB bets 1000, BB calls
<font color="white">
What do I do? Limp for more money as their is no draw, and hope SB leads out again on turn, or raise for value?

This may be really dumb, and I probably would lose my chips anyways, but this smells like a set from SB. You said he was tight. What is he calling PF/leading postflop that you beat here?

Still, I'd just push it. There's 18.5K in the pot already and you only have 11K behind. Just get the money in there.

I wasn't sure, I seen him make these weak bets, my notes said, he weak raise with a mediocre hand, and big bets with monsters.

Looks like a blocking bet to me. Pushing is reasonable here. He can't be that tight calling off half his stack instead of pushing PF. I'd push and expect a call from JJ-KK here, it really doesn't look like an ace hand, unless he's got 2 of them.

With SB being tight it seems strange that he'd call off half his stack. If I was playing and I thought he was a good player (not necessarily equal to tight), I'd assume he was pulling a stop and go, probably some mid PP. When he bets small like that rather than pushing it sure looks suspicious. However, he could have just checked... Either way, I'm probably still not folding this.

I'm leaning towards the push here. Tough to say. I'd probably push. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I'd smooth call the flop and get allin on the turn. Only hands you're afraid of giving a free card are 35 and 56
