$33 MTT on ACR. Sitting 15/33, 27 get paid. Villain is 38/28/9.1 after 53 hands. He has been using his stack and opening/calling often and has been betting and calling down with one pair.
I want to play for the win but at the same point after grinding for 4 hours I also want to get paid for my time. Against players with smaller stacks than me I slow play this flop for sure but in this spot, near the bubble vs a much bigger stack the demons start to get in my head and tell me to do anything to avoid getting sucked out on.

HERO ….
I considered betting here thinking he might try to bluff/raise me off my hand or he would fold not having a piece of the board. If I check I knew there was a high probability he would throw out a bet to which I wasn't sure if I would just flat and then either jam or check/jam any turn or check-raise thinking there was a good chance he would call with any over pair or any J and then jam turn. Meanwhile my mind just kept telling me "don't let him suck out on you at this stage in the tournament".
