Default FTP $5K Guaranteed. Near the Bubble...

We're down to 13 players. Table has been pretty tight as we approach the final table. No read on the villain as either of us have showed a hand in a while.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t1000/t2000
(Ante: t250)
7 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t15287
UTG+1: t34230
MP1: t59830
CO: t35909
killingbird: t15728
SB: t63339
BB: t28205

Pre-flop: (7 players) killingbird is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
4 folds, <font color="#cc0000">killingbird raises to t6000</font>, SB folds, BB calls t4000 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t10750)</font>.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t14750, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB is all-in t21955</font>

Now what? Comments on pre flop appreciated as well.

I'd fold this. The average calling range includes a 10 here and you're drawing to a runner runner and two remaining 8s(assuming you're not dominated with an 108s or some sort.

FWIW I instacall this. He NEVER has a ten here. The only hand I fear is 99 and A8. I expect to see 22-77 here a lot, and sometimes a draw.

I agree with this but with some adjustments. A lot of times this is a flush draw or a straight draw with a backdoor flush draw. I put 99-AA as fairly unlikely since these hands usually produce an all-in reraise preflop.

On the other hand, this could be a classic stop-n-go. However, given the likelyhood of all the various scenarios and the pot odds, I call here most of the time.

appreciate the feedback guys. FWIW, I called. He had Q5 of clubs and hit his flush on the river.

Perhaps I should have just pushed all in instead of the raise preflop? I nearly pot commited myself anyway, yes?
