I have a note on villian:

Raised ATo from UTG+1, c-bet 25% of the pot on Txx flop, got it in.

So based on that more trappy line with a bigish hand, does he have enough FD and Qxs to justify a call here?

Poker Stars $20+$2 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t150/t300 Blinds + t25 - 8 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

UTG+1: t8014
MP1: t5627
MP2: t17160
CO: t11703
Hero (BTN): t13382
SB: t4267
BB: t7364
UTG: t2517

Pre Flop: (t650) Hero is BTN with K

2 folds, MP1 calls t300, 1 fold, CO calls t300, Hero raises to t1200, 2 folds, MP1 calls t900, 1 fold

Flop: (t3350) A

(2 players)
MP1 bets t4402 all in, Hero pukes

puke, indeed...

my general rule of thumb is to settle tiebreaks with the question "are you {potentially} the aggressor?" ... if no then fold, if yes then bet...

sick spot though, can't come to an answer myself thus default fold imo

Tough spot here, but I find a fold. He donked into us with just greater than a PSB left. V has a wide range, but our hand doesn't fare very well against his range.

I want to call because it looks like a draw more than an ace, but I also fold.

Usually a weak ace in my experience.
