$11: Early decision with top 2

[AndrewB]

I ran into this situation in a recent game and it turned out to be a key hand in the game. This hand occured early in level 2 and I did not have any solid reads on the Villain.

NL Texas Hold'em $10 Buy-in + $1 Level:2 Blinds(15/30)
Hero (t1400)
Villain (t1200)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero raises to t90
Villain (CO) calls t90
Everybody else folds

Flop: (t225) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero bets t125, Villian calls t125

Turn: (t475) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero bets t200, Villain raises to t450, Hero...?

I ended up convicing myself that the only hand I am ahead of is a semi-bluff, and the betting said Villain had a set or a straight.

I briefly considered calling the raise and value betting unless a J, T, or spade came but decided that it was only level 2 and there would be plenty of time to find a better spot.

Anyone else see a different way to play it?
