Stars 5$ Deep Stack - AQ in SB, flopped top pair

[Tackleberry]

Stars Deep Stack Tourney (5k starting stack, 30 mins blind levels).

1300 players started, about 440 remaining.

Big Blind is t200 (9 handed), average is about 14k.

Villain was 31/9/1 over 200 hands, defended his BB against EVERY steal from me (we were at the same table from the beginning). I already saw him calling down <u>very</u> large pots with top-pair, <u>no</u> kicker.

MP3 (t6168)

Button (t17612)
Hero (t11387)
BB (t7540)

Any Comments?

either flat the turn or lead out. check raising on a turn that obviously doesn't improve your hand doesn't do much for us here


given description of villain, i would lead out for about 2100~ here and possibly fold to a raise depending on how big it is.

bet more on the flop, like 1100. if he's gona call us with shitkickers, why not charge him a little more?
