Hey all
I was in a tourney with a safe stack to get ITM (10 players before bubble) and this hand occured. Are these spots that I should play aggressively or should I try to avoid them before the bubble?

My thoughts were to extract value from any worse Kings and draws on the flop. Somehow I missed, that the SPR comes close to 1 OTT and didnīt want to bust with TPTK before bubble and checked the turn, although the turn-card didnt improve any possible holdings from villain and would be safe to continue betting out in my opinion. Especially considering the fact, that he would raise the flop with two-pair plus on such boards. After his bet, I tanked and wasn't really convinced, so still decided to get it in.
Cheers
