Default Live $60 NL 150 man tourny

This is my regular weekly event. The tournaments have about 75% regulars, lots of familiar faces. There tends to be feeding off the fish and then every now and then 2 good players fight with premiums.

Average stack of table is 5k (starting chips). I have 4k and change. I post the SB. folded around except all 3 by the button call.

I was looking down at QJo(no club). I complete the other 100 and we go 5 handed to the flop of T1000.

flop is: 10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I lead with 300, all 3 call.

turn(2200) is K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

This is one of the two straights I hit that I have trouble playing. I bet 300 again into the 2200 pot. Fold, fold, button pushes for 5k, but really making me call about 3500.

My read on the button is he is an all in specialist. He will limp a bunch of times on multi-handed pots and splash around preflop, but when he makes solid bets they are very large. If he thinks he can steal a small pot with a big all in, he will do it just to make you think next time when he goes all in with the goods, he doesn't have it.

I just couldn't put him calling on the flop with an ace high runner runner flush draw. Only way I think he would do that is A9o. He would play TPTK carefully in this spot. Does that mean he had a baby flush draw made?

Do you smell trips?

Am I ahead with no backup?

I ended up folding but I was wondering if 1.5x the pot was worth the call all in. I felt like I pussied out after I did it.
