Default 6.50t - wtf I\'m a calling station w/ TPNK

SB is LAGGY and has tried to steal 90% of the pots that he was involved in. CO is bigger calling station than Hero. I was pretty sure that my TPNK was good and just hoped that pot would stay small.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1100)
UTG+1 (t1555)
MP1 (t2600)
MP2 (t1130)
CO (t715)
Button (t1880)
SB (t1790)
Hero (t2730)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t50, Hero checks

This is a tough situation - I don't really like folding, raising or calling the flop bet... If I'm multi tabling then I almost always fold this. If I was trying to play optimally then I probably call the flop and then raise the safe turn to about 500. If he reraises then I fold. If he calls and then checks the river I check anything but a K or 5.

I fold flop, fold turn, probably call river (We're beating KQ here).

I'm not very likely to call that flop, but if I do I'm, defintely folding the turn. River I'm likely just to call also, seems someone could easily have a higher 2-pair, but I may just be a nit.

Ok maybe i was looking at this the wrong way but SB is a TOTAL DONK. He could easilly have T7o or 44. Like I said he was trying to steal every pot and wasn't all good at it.

At the time I was playing 1-table and really paying atenttion. Hmm.. maybe I should just stick with 4-tabling and not paying atenttion...

I don't mind anything but the river. I don't see a reason to raise the river, even with the two pair. SB could have a lot of hands still that beat you that play like this, Higher two pair, made str8. The only hand I see playing like this is a flush draw, but he isn't calling your river raise anyway. I just call and note what he was betting with.

Pots don't stay small against aggressive players who are always trying to pick up the pot.

Even if you are ahead here, you're getting raped by reverse implied odds. Just fold. Also, raising the river is terrible.

Please call river. SB seems to like his hand quite a bit here.

Irrelevant. There is obv. no difference between raising and calling when he has these hands. It's only the hands he's calling your raise with that you should consider. Are you ahead half the time when he calls your raise? (the answer should be obvious)
