Default 6.50 overpair and a check/raiser

First orbit, no history on villain, but I'm guessing AT+ is more likely than QQ+, so I call the PF raise.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
CO (t1500)
Button (t1500)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is in MP3 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP1 raises to t60</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, Hero calls t60, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Flop: (t150) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t140</font>, <font color="red">MP1 raises to t280</font>, Hero ?

Default Re: 6.50 overpair and a check/raiser

This is a check raise bluff. Time to shove. QQ+ would not check/slow play this flop after raising pre flop. Had villian limped the flop then check-raise it would make sense. But here it looks like villian has just read the start of HOH2.

The more I think of this the more I am sure that you are ahead here.
