Need a bit more info. What's your stack size? What's the average stack size?

If you bet again, you're basically pot committed. The J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] probably didn't help him if he was behind, but it's possible since some bigstacks would consider calling even with AJ on that flop. Are you willing to risk the rest of your tournament on him having AK, AQ, KQ, or 22-44?

Personally, I'd check/fold this, but if I bet, I'd probably just push since the pot is bigger than your stack. Or you bet half of what you have left and put the rest in on the river. But I think once you bet again, you're in for the long haul. I think anything he calls another bet with has you beat anyway.

Push. There is 58K in the pot and you have 34K left. Villain could have called the raise with a higher pp, but he could have called with anything on the bubble. He may think you have over cards.

I don't take the same line on the flop.

I would be willing to do a CB, but why do a CB that big. If you get raised or called you are in trouble and he may do it with a lot of hands that you beat and that beat you, so there's no way you will get more info.

I would do a check-raise all-in if you think he may fold depending on your reads, or I would do a 12k bet closer to have the pot).

17k is not bad, but I would be pretty much done with the hand...You already invested a lot on an average hand against a CL. Don't mess with them unless you have a really good hand.
