He called quickly pf and on the flop, and i had been pretty inactive, i often just open-fold this, but had been quiet and thought it was enough of a hand. can i just check-fold flop? or maybe check/call that really tiny bet? in retrospect i dont think i like my c/r much at all, i think he'll check behind T's or some lower pairs hoping to just showdown vs AK. But if he's not betting pairs, then his range is what, AQ/TT? that makes calling kinda grim, hoping to hit maybe 4 outs?

anyway, next:

at this stage of the tournament, is shiptha opening light enough that i have to play ATo here? later on in the tournament i think its much easier, but at this point he might be opening significatnyl tighter.

given that i decided to play it, stop and go>shove right? and does this stay true afer i flop TPTK? He can't think that i'm going to check/fold after calling pf, so i think i have to shove.

Hadn't seen the guy play a hand, i've been tight/straightforward, i didnt think bet-fold or bet-call flop was a good line, but after checking i kinda felt like my hand was too faceup for him to not try and stab at it


so what lines do you guys prefer?
