Perfect play (I think) leads to exit from 100k live tourney

[Kagiedog]

Mid-point in guaranteed $100k live tourney. (I apologize if I am abbreviating wrong -- new to this forum).

Could I have played this any differently?

Blinds 200-400

Since this tourney was not online, I will list only the relevant players:

Villain MP2 (extremely tight) (~$8500)
Button (new to table) (~$5000)
Hero BB ($7200)

Preflop: Hero is BB w/ J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
3 folds , Villain raises minimum to 800 (I immediately put him on a very good chance for AA or KK given his tendencies), 2 folds , Button calls, Hero calls t 400.

Flop (t3200) J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero checks, <font color="red"> </font> Villain bets t800, <font color="black"> </font> Button calls t 800, <font color="red"> </font> Hero calls t 800

<font color="black"> </font> Turn: (t5600)7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero checks , <font color="red"> </font> Villain bets t 1600, <font color="black"> </font> Button calls, <font color="red"> </font> Hero raises t6000 all in, <font color="black"> </font> Villain calls, Button folds

River: (t17800) 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Villain wins.

I think that I played this hand right at every level, but the turn is where I have most questions -- I clearly had huge odds to call pre-flop and on the flop.

On the turn, I was pretty sure I was against AA and had him 80/20. I also knew he was a very tight inexperienced player from watching him, and thought he might never give up his AA (I was right on both counts). I was somewhat worried about the button since he may have flopped a set, but was more likely on a draw (clubs or KQ). So I checked, knowing that Villain would bet, and if the Button did not make a move it was very unlikely he had a set with so many draws, and the pot size. So I check-raise to eliminate the Button, and got the caller I wanted.

But there is an argument that since I know AA will call likely pay me off on the river, I should just smooth call, and can still get out without being too crippled when disaster hits. But I think the better move was to push because the Button was the wild card, and if str8 or flush card hit on the river, I would be in a bind.

Any comments would be appreciated.

You got all the chips in when you were significantly ahead, but lost. If you had won this hand, would you have posted this thread? I think you're looking at it retrospectively. You took a bad beat. I wouldn't fault your play.

But given my read that the villain would call my all-in on the river, what is the proper way to balance this with the threat from the button's possible draw?

Well played, bad luck...

You don't wanna be against villains 8 outs and buttons possible 8 outs as well, so the check raise goes very fine for me...

I don't think you would want to keep him in the hand with those vulnerable 2 pair, I don't see any point for flat calling when you are in front, with 2 "drawers" against your hand!

I agree. You did what you were supposed to in a tough balancing act.
