Default $60: TPNK from blinds again

Villain is unknown. If he makes a weak stab I'll come over the top but his bet looks pretty strong. Just fold right?

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t75/t150
7 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1905
UTG+1: t4530

Easy fold to a minbet, let alone a psb. You will find better spots than this.

I will let this one go.A pot sized bet will be a stronger hand that wants to protect from the flush draw more often then not
imo.

UTG can have everything, he limped in PF no one else limp'd now both blinds check to him he gotta bet here.I would lead here for 300 and fold to a raise and c/f on turn if called. Here you gotta fold it

I think I shove here. This can be FDs A8 etc. It is rarely an overpair.

I c/f this every time. We have 9BB against 2 opponents - I'm not committing my stack with this hand.

I think this is the BEST of the responses so far; I'm surprised nobody else suggested leading. Yes, you're outplayed by a bluff raise, but this is less likely than an obvious steal bluff after 2 checks.

The best argument for check-fold on the flop is your problems on the turn when he's called. Does he have spades? A better 10? 2nd pair? Underpair? Air bag?

At least when you bet out they don't classify you as a wuss and try to run over you all day.

i would lead out at it for 240-280 if the blinds were going up very soon, or there were less than 7 people left. but you have some time left, so i can see check folding. depends on your read of the utg limp... it could be a small pair that he played like that. i wouldnt come over the top of that raise though, not enough information.
