1st HH be gentle with me.... Also not sure whether 18-man SNG goes here or MTT but decided here.

10 players left, me about 5th, villain had doubled up early(99, hit set) then sat on his hands apart from a little blind stealing.

Welcome to the forum.. good too see a formatted HH, reads on villan etc [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would play this carefully, I usually raise to 400 pre-flop (to keep the pot size under control) & then fire off one continuation bet of 400.. if he calls we have to shut down & hope to hit a K or Q on the turn/river.

I'd bet another 450. If he called and checked again I'd keep betting, if came over the top I'd most likely fold.
