This guy was relatively tight. He wasn't involved in many pots, so when he flat called my raise I got a little suspicious. I figured he could easily have an 8, or he could be making a move thinking that I was bluffing. But I thought he could also very easily be slowplaying a higher pair or a 4. Is this an easy fold?

A good tight player never ever has a 4 here.
WIth your description its not a nice spot to be in, but usually overpair = nuts. if he slowplayed a bigger Pair PF, gg me. I am not folding here ever in a 16$.

Herc, I have to disagree...

If this guy is tighted as stated, with the way this played out, I have to believe he is sitting on AK (possible) or one of the big pairs (AA, KK, QQ....very maybe JJ, but doubt it). I just have a tough time believing in this situation he is going to get involved with a seriously specutlative hand with the exception of AK. While he might Reraise with the big ones, at this point in the tourny he may be looking to get a large pay off / stack an opponenet when he gets the big hand...then we see a c/r...he is trying to tell us something.

As played, I am out of there.

This is a friendly tip. You should convert your hand before posting so it looks like this.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t1925)
UTG+1 (t3495)
MP1 (t885)
MP2 (t1325)
CO (t970)
Button (t1070)
SB (t1730)
BB (t2100)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to t300</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, BB calls t200

Flop: (t650) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t350</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to t1800 (All-in)</font>


I think you can fold here. Lots of villains will call a preflop raise with 88, TT-QQ. Some also like to slow play KK and AA. Some will call with A4s also. The only possible hands you have beat are AK, AQ and A8.

could be flush draws in there too, and this is exactly how you'll see Kxdd or Axdd play along with top pair hands and occasionally AK/AQ. I call but don't expect to be far ahead too often.

Hero is barely ahead of villain's flush draw. If villain has JTd+ then hero and villain are even 50/50. If villain has J+9d, then hero is ahead 55/45. If villain's small card is 7d or less then hero is 60/40.

Over villains entire range, including my previously mentioned cards hero is a dog and should fold.
