Default TT postflop late in the Stars $320

26 remaining in the Stars $320. I'm 6th in chips and we're 8 handed on this table.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB (t12526)
UTG (t8443)
UTG+1 (t7142)
Hero (t24701)
MP2 (t19066)
CO (t27993)
Button (t27968)
SB (t9949)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2400</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t2400, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.

Flop: (t5150) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t3200</font>, CO calls t3200.

Turn: (t11550) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t22343 (All-In)</font>, Hero...

--Thoughts--
Firstly, I was just moved to the table and am readless with villain (have never seen him before either).

*FLOP: I obviously hate the flop, but it could very conceivably have hit me so I want to take a shot and rep AK. If I'm raised or called, I’m totally done with it. (If I had a hand with more showdown value (QQ) I would strongly consider checking here but that's another post.)

*TURN: My flop thinking caused me to totally botch this street in my opinion. I basically checked dark in that I hit check before really even noticing the Turn card (b/c after I was called, like I said, I was done with it). I hate hate hate that I checked on the Turn. I put myself in a [censored] spot by showing weakness. He makes this weird overbet shove, and I just hate that I put myself in this spot.

I couldn't really put him on anything that I beat, but again I muddied up the situation by checking the Turn IMO.

wtf do I do?

call. He pushed BECAUSE you checked.

Trust me, I have a great read on him [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

What range are you putting him on? I have just about AQ, JJ, 66, and A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], assuming he is not call-bluffing the flop (a silly play on that board IMHO)

oh yeah, I was overstating in the OP when I said I couldn't put him on ANYTHING that I beat.

all joking aside, this appears to be the classic Pair-With-Draw play. Or maybe two pair.

This would be a really strange way to play a hand that beats yours especially AQ. I would put him on AJ, KJ, KQ or JJ (pushing because he is scared of all the draws). No way I can find a fold here.

so, did you call or fold, and what happened?

I call.

AK KJ - 2 pr like KT or JT Even - Not AQ

With AQ he wouldn't be scared, and the all in is 80% a scare bet.

In addition if he had anything but KK or JJ and the board pairs, you have a boat to win

I never fold this, but I bet the turn because I hate to see this checked through.

Wait, is there really some question as to what to do on the turn?

I'll be interested to see the replies, and this is a bigger buy-in than I'm used to, but I call here, in a second. I can think of plenty of hands that I'm beating here and not as many that are beating me and push here to a checked turn.

I'm also very happy checking the turn.
