This is the $80 satellite to the Sunday WSOP, relatively early. I have been one of the tighter players at the table. I doubled up when I pushed into a raise and a cold call with AA. I thought about raising preflop, but didn't really want to play a big pot out of position against the big stack with KJ, so I checked. The button has been relatively aggressive, but hasn't shown down any garbage. When he flat called my check raise I put him on a flush draw, but wasn't sure I wanted to go broke if the turn bricked. Comments on all streets appreciated.

I would bet out about 3/4 pot.

checking pre-flop IMO is fine, after all he is the big stack.

Flop i like the check/raise especially when he over bets the pot, the overbet looks like he doesnt want you in the hand and could easily be a steal, when he calls your check-raise, it could mean that he has something, but generally i find that players just fold to a turn bet,

I might raise more on the flop say to 1000 instead.

Here is my problem: If I bet out 3/4 of the pot, say 1,400, then I only have 800 left. I am pot committed and cannot fold to a raise. I think I am good here far too often to check-fold the turn, so I don't know what else to do other than move-in.

I put him on a weaker jack or maybe A5? Either way, all in - take the pot.
