TPTK 1500 Chip Trout Game

[gumpzilla]

I think this is a more interesting post if you don't give the results away in the beginning, and leave the question as what you should do after the raise.

As for the rest, I think this hand is probably okay. I probably bet 175-200 on this flop. I'll just comment that TPTK, while still a good hand, is one you probably want to exercise more pot control with in the early rounds of a trout tournament compared to a Party SNG. Against many players in this game, serious action generally means you're in trouble. On this hand, I think your hands are kind of tied, since it's unlikely that he'll slow down on later streets and there is a feasible draw or two out there(EDIT: also, stacks are pretty shallow by this point), so your play is probably fine.
