$11 sticky spot with top 2

[chrismystero]

10B Celebration: $11 NLHE tourney on 'Stars. 1377 entrants, 240 remain, 180 paid. I have been at the same table as villain so for for the first 1.5 hrs. So far he seems very solid (He is ImaLuckSac for those who know). So far he has been playing very TAG, showing down only premium hands, hasnt got caught on a bluff yet. Limper from EP in hand is LAGgy and I am not worried about him.

I questioned a few things in this hand so I will post it in a few steps:

With the 3h completing the flush on the turn, I believe in this particular case with your stacks that it is best to simply check and evaluate his bet if villain decides to. Evaluate if you think his hand is weak or is strong enough to represent a flush. If he bet 3/4 to a pot sized bet, I would probably lay it down since you're playing a big pot out of position without a great hand. If he bets less than that, I would probably call, and hope to fill up on the river or another heart. And check call the river again. If a heart comes it is probably best again to check because it seems like you will only get paid off from a flush that is higher that your Q.

Bet, the heart may scare him more than you. If he calls or raises then you know the answer, if you don't bet you won't know.
