So good, I hardly know what to do.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

UTG+1 ($50)
Hero ($66.45)
MP1 ($115.25)
MP2 ($29.15)
MP3 ($42.95)
CO ($48.45)
Button ($67.23)
SB ($59.95)
BB ($15.10)
UTG ($49)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
2 folds, Hero calls $0.50, 5 folds, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets $1.25, BB calls $1.25, Hero raises to $4, SB raises to $8, BB folds, Hero...

SB is very tight, but clearly interested in the hand.
I'm only interested in extraction, of course. What's looks weaker? A push ( the stacks are fairly deep) or a fourth raise? How can I get all the money in the middle?

I'd call and push turn (if he doesn't first).

i just push.

they aren't min reraising without a hand that they can't call a push with.

i'd definitely reraise b/c there's a bunch of cards that could kill your action. There's ~18 cards that you don't want to see. definitely reraise, and pushing is good too.

Advice is well taken. Turn came another ten and the son of a bitch check-folded to a 2/3 pot bet. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I assume he put me on top two or a set, so maybe I prevented a split. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, I obviously left a lot of money on the table here. His extreme tightness (12/1) made me paranoid about not being able to extract, for some reason; usually I play a situation like "current nuts drawing to pure nuts" very fast, like everyone else who likes money. Thanks for your comments.

I would not have been to happy with another 10 if I were you. What would you have done if he pushed when the 10 came?

What do you guys think about raising more on the flop? This seems like a board that helps a lot of hands.
