Default Back into MTT\'s - Full Tilt $24, $16K guaranteed

I'm a limit HE pro. I grind it out at the 5/10 and 10/20 SH tables. I've had some success at MTT's but never worked a ton on my game. Well it's time to change that. Here's the first step back:

FullTiltPoker Game #349232792: $16,000 Guarantee (2211931), Table 53 - 100/200 - No Limit Hold'em - 23:33:33 ET - 2005/12/22

Seat 5: MW_Dailey (14,950)
Seat 6: bigslimfast50 (6,395)

Villain seemed pretty normal, not LAGgy, but not a rock either.

Preflop I thought was pretty standard. MP openraise from a big stack. I thought calling was the best of my 3 options at this point.

The flop was a good flop for me. I guess I could have led out for 1,000 or so and see how he reacted. I thought I was ahead here 90% of the time or so and didn't see a reason to push too hard yet.

On the turn, I wanted to charge him if he had a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The raise surprised me unless he put me on a draw. Is a good line to call the raise and showdown a non-[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (my first instinct), push here, or fold?

Comments on all streets are welcome.

*bump*, any thoughts?

Sorry, I didn't know where to find a Full Tilt hand converter.

I like leading out this flop or cr'ing a decent amount.

if I got a read on the guy as loose - I check call the river -

if he's real loose, I repop all in -

personally, I think a laydown here will save you more times then not.

How about the turn, whiskey? I was weak-tightly afraid of A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K or a made flush. Should I push here? This gives any [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] about 3.3:1 to call instead of the required 4:1. I think folding is my worst option and not sure if I like pushing or calling better.
