Huge stack battle...TP/Exc. Kicker on draw-y board
Party $55 NL tourney. 400ish started 70ish left. Top 40 make money. I am huge stack with ~10,000. Big stack at table and top 2-3 in tourney. I have been playing a huge number of hands and winnng most preflop with raises. We're not ON the bubble, but we're close to it and the many 2-3K stacks are tightening up.
Villain this hand is the SB. He has ~9,000 and is the only player at the table even close to me in chips. He has NOT loosened up as I have and appears to be sticking with a real TAG style. Blinds are 100/200. Folded to me LP with KTo. I open-raise to T600. SB calls. The flop comes 89T rainbow. SB leads out for T1,200. I haven't seen him bet draws, but we haven't been at the same table long enough to draw any real conclusions. What's my play/plan?

Re: Huge stack battle...TP/Exc. Kicker on draw-y board
He knows we've been aggressive, so he could be doing this with any 2.
I raise to 3600? I dunno, what do we do if he pushes? I don't like calling here at all... ummmm I hate it, but I push. I can't think of anything else that's acceptable. I'd love to fold, but can't, and any other action makes no sense to me. Yup, push. Edit: Stacks are too deep for a push maybe. Raise to 3600, fold to a push I guess...

Re: Huge stack battle...TP/Exc. Kicker on draw-y board
I call. I'm not comfortable folding this hand just yet, but I'm not looking to get a bunch of chips in on this board. I think raising just builds a huge pot which will be difficult to get away from. I would say his range is top pair, pair + draw, overpair, two pair, set, bluff in approximately that order. If he puts out another big bet on the turn, I fold. If he checks, I bet half pot and fold to a raise, check it through if he calls. I may call a smallish bet. On a scary turn (like a J) I may try to represent the Q, maybe not.
