Default A \'gigabet blocks\' hand

Carribbean Sun $10+1 MTT, ~350 players to start, 40 pay, about ~250 left

------HAND 47------
Game #889530753: Texas Hold'em No Limit (75/150) - 2005/08/19 - 21:45:41 (ET)
Table "$4000GTD 958764 - 10" Seat 2 is the button.
Seat 1: seiker3 (2580 in chips)
Seat 2: sbh72 (4000 in chips)
Seat 3: Lee04068 (2785 in chips)
Seat 4: urnam0 (3990 in chips)
Seat 5: pgec3 (2455 in chips)
Seat 6: Mechanism (955 in chips)
Seat 7: Hulkboy (1150 in chips)
Seat 8: Am0700 (1495 in chips)
Seat 9: Kebabs001 (2025 in chips)
Seat 10: crox13 (2225 in chips)
Lee04068: posts small blind 75
urnam0: posts big blind 150
----- HOLE CARDS -----
dealt to urnam0 [9s 5s]
pgec3: folds
Mechanism: folds
Hulkboy: folds
Am0700: folds
Kebabs001 (TAG): raises to 450
crox13: folds
seiker3: folds
sbh72: folds
Lee04068 (LAG; has played one hand against Hero where he bet a little on a two of a suit F (FD?) and check-folded on blank T): calls 375
urnam0: ... (need to call 300 for a pot of ~1050 with an implied odds hand AND the confidence to outplay Villains postflop; also I have a 'block' of chips above the average stack at the table I can use to acquire the necessary chips to get to "huge bully stack" status)


















urnam0: calls 300
----- FLOP ----- [4s 3h 6h]
Lee04068: bets 335
urnam0: ... (Original raiser is Tight and will probably fold overcards, if he does I can probably take pot away from Lee04068 as the previous confrontation between us consisted of him betting a little on a two of a suit Flop and check-folding Turn)



















urnam0: calls 335
Kebabs001: raises to 1575 and is all-in
Lee04068: folds
urnam0: ... (I have to call 1240 for a pot of ~3595 with an OESD...is this the defining gigabet block [which I should henceforth refer to as Chunk] moment?)


















urnam0: calls 1240
----- TURN ----- [4s 3h 6h][2h]
----- RIVER ----- [4s 3h 6h 2h][Kc]
----- SHOW DOWN -----
Kebabs001: shows [Ad As] (A Pair of Aces, King high)
urnam0: shows [9s 5s] (A Straight, Six high)
urnam0 collected 4835 from Main pot
----- SUMMARY -----
Total pot 4835 Main pot 4835 Rake 0
Board [4s 3h 6h 2h Kc]
Seat 1: seiker3 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: sbh72 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: Lee04068 (small blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 4: urnam0 (big blind) showed [9s 5s] and won (4835) with A Straight, Six high
Seat 5: pgec3 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: Mechanism folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: Hulkboy folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: Am0700 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 10: crox13 folded before Flop (didn't bet)

In hindsight, maybe I should have Pushed the Flop instead of Calling. Lotta decisions on this hand.

Please explain your line with logical arguments.

This isnt a Gigablocks hand. See my response to someone yesterday about describing what is one.
