I hate 5th place...

Does anybody else go to the felt here?? Hadn't really seen anything special out of villian, but should I have laid back more and ITM?

Do you really think that one pair is good when he puts in 5400 chips? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I'm no deep stack pro, but I would probably raise the turn to about T800 and plan on folding to an all-in (unless the button moved in of course).

I'd raise this preflop. The SB's call doesn't mean jack and if the button pushes over you you'll have an easy call.

I'm not looking to play a big pot here against the SB, and my hand has showdown value. Just call his bet and hope an overcard doesn't hit. Call reasonable sized river bets.
