100+ rebuys, tough spot with baby pair.

This just happened in the 100 rebuy on stars a few minutes ago. there were 21 left, only final table pays. Im not exactly sure on my read of this guy, he seems reasonably solid, maybe a bit on the passive side, but not too bad.

Average stack is just over 20k.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) converter

BB (t16535)
UTG (t19977)
UTG+1 (t9105)
MP1 (t11540)
MP2 (t20638)
CO (t18742)
Hero (t12335)
SB (t23163)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
5 folds, Hero raises to t1800, SB calls t1500, BB calls t1200.

Flop: (t4850) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t3000, SB raises to t21313, BB folds, Hero...

I have a strong feeling here that he is making this play with a big flush draw- as he has put his whole stack in and not just enough to commit me, in case the bb has a big hand.

I dont think 7k would be very much to work with, but if I call and win im over 20k.

Fold? His pocket pair is bigger than yours.

even if he has 43 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] he's more of a favorite than you to win. i fold without a second thought.

i neglected to mention that i was stealing a lot of blinds, so i think he would playback with a pair. anyway, i realize that diamonds are favored, but there is so much in the middle i think a call is right- if he has diamonds.
