Re: Hand from Borgata WPT
Justin,
I think this is actually a fairly easy decision. You just can't raise here, even if he thinks you are taking advantage of his mis-bet, with his assumed range and the fact that this is a standard tight guy in a live tournament, he just isn't calling a 3-bet shove with worse. And the way this hand played out, I would be very surprised if he bets the river as a bluff or a valuebet with a worse hand than yours. I would call and check/fold on most rivers to most bets. I might have to call if he bets small on a completely harmless river, but I think that decision is even somewhat trivial and based upon your read of him. Calling and making a small (1/2 pot type) lead on a variety of rivers is also acceptable IMO, and might be preferable, but once again I don't think its a huge difference and it really depends on your read of the guy.
