Villain has repeatedly gone after the blinds. His standard opening bet for ANY hand (I have two MTTs histories on him) is huge and he will go to the river with AK no matter what the board shows. However, he usually takes the pot (especially when I'm in it [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] )without ever going to showdown. In my case I think with him I have developed MUBS. With this hand what would you do?

MUBS is Monster under the bed syndrome? At this point I'm imagining him with a pair of queens or AQ or even Q2 no suit.

I think if your going to lead into a tricky player you have to bet more. Your min bet is just begging to be raised. If you bet 800+ and he reraises it you can feel better about folding. When you called the the raise he has to know you have something and he fires again so I would give him credit for having the best hand and fold. If you were going to push back the time to push back was the flop.
The way you played it I am folding to the flop raise. |

That makes sense. I do believe his next move however would have been to put me all in rather than just raise me. His read on me is that I don't very often go all-in preflop in tournament play until after the antes kick in. I will with a strong stack accept all-in invitations from short stacks but in this case he's got me outstacked big-time.
