Default 10k Gtd. QQ and tough decision on flop

That was the third hour of a tourney. I've been playing mixed style. In late positions tried to steal by raising 2.5-3x BB. But there was the only player sitting to my left, who was a real problem for me. 2 orbits ago a made 2.6x raise with KQo on the button. He called on SB (my stack was 23500, he had ~ 18000, blinds 400/800/75). Flop came 4 2 6 rainbow, he went all in. I had to fold. The next orbit, when blinds were 500/1000 i made 3x raise on the Button with Q7o. He called this time too. Flop came A K 7. Then he led into the pot with 6000, i folded.

In early stages i caught him when he was bluffing on all streets against another villian and put a note.

Finally, the next hand happened:

SU_DOKU (7230.00)
Disco4stu (17029.00)
hilde72 (17183.00)
Hero (17237.00)
Villian (24835.00)
alexross (29530.00)
TAPIIRI (20535.00)
sandman3069 (18135.00)
Disco4stu posts SB 500.00
hilde72 posts BB 1000.00

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to 3200</font>, Villian calls 3200, <font color="#666666">6 fold</font>

Flop: (t8700) 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero bets 4000, <font color="red">Villian (after 20 sec delay) </font> goes all-in 21635, Hero?

I'd check this flop. Either lead for 6K and committ yourself, or check. I really don't see the value in bet/folding and leading for only 1/2 the pot against this villain should only be done to induce a shove with TP or &lt;.

I'd puke and call. He probably would have reraised preflop with AK, KQ is unlikely since you have QQ, and I doubt he'd smooth call your UTG raise with KJ or worse.

I think he more likely has TT/55 if he's beating you or is on a draw.

Sucky spot, but I think I call here.

I agree. A King doesn't make alot of sense to me here. fd maybe? I'd call and chuck the laptop against the wall when he wins with AcJc.

As played I think you have to call this, you ahead enough and getting 2-1 to call (note stack size of hero). I kinda like open shove on this flop.

seeing youre history here with villian if you check hes gonna bet anyway if he has top pair or not

betting out 6kish makes you committed but it does seem little bit stronger IMO and then i would call
as played.. its though but again seeing history with villian i would have to call not like it but call
