Default Event 35-$1500..16 left....hand in BB vs chip leader

I have about 425k chips in the BB, about 6th..Ryan Young is in cutoff with 2+million..Nam Lee is the small blind with about the same stack as me..Blinds are 10k,20k,3kante

Folds to chip leader in cutoff who just knocked out another fairly large stack..Villian is known to be super aggressive, even without having a super large stack to push around..Folds to him.He raises in cutoff to 55k..Nam folds in the small blind and I have K10..I thought about shoving here but I quickly smooth called..

Flop comes K 9 5 with two diamonds..Check raise or lead out?
One note..villian has c'bet 5 of 5 times since I came to table...(one other note..wsop and poker pages got the hand recap way wrong)

I like a check raise all in, stack sizes and pot size are pretty much perfect for this. Getting checked behind on stinks, but there is no reason he won't c-bet again, great board to do so from his viewpoint.

allin preflop. These guys all tend to raise too much. The best way to punish them is to reraise with your decent to good hands with these stack sizes, not to call out of position.

Jamming PF is fine here, but if we know he's going to bet out at close to 100% of flops, I think calling and CRAI with any piece of the flop is a bit better.

shove preflop.

check the flop and then exude weakness as you call. check the turn (unless its a diamond). shove the river.

I would check raise the flop, I'm not a big fan of check calling.

Do you think TT-QQ/A9/J9/9T is more likely to fold if we crai than if we check-call, check, shove?

Do you think the value gained from their increased calling frequency makes up for the value lost when they spike their hand? If yes, then do you just want to shut down the action to take a decent pot and preserve our tournament life?

thanks..as played. i smooth called preflop..and checked the flop anticipating a c-bet from ryan..he checked behind on the flop and when the 3 came on the turn, I led out a pot size bet, just about committing myself..he shoved, I called..

sounds like jamming was the other good option which was definitely part of my thinking as well..Ive been debating whether or not I should of led out on the flop..but it sounds like you guys dont have a problem with the line I took.
