Live tournament a few hours in. Villain has just moved to the table.
Starting stack 12k blinds are now 300/600
Only 400k chips in the entire tournament
Villain and hero have around 50k each
About 8 handed, folds around to villain
Villain on the button raises to 1.8k
I decide to wear sunglasses this tournament for +ev in gaining reads.
Hero on SB wakes up with AK unsuited, I wanted to raise to 5.5k but accidentally threw in the wrong chip and ended up calling, although
I just apologize as I only threw in around 1.2k not enough to call. I don't think anyone noticed
Flop comes out KQ6 no flushdraws.
Hero checks and V bets very small, can't pick up on anything
Hero ??
I decide to just call
turn is a off suit 3, shouldn't change much, V raises and my read on him is he's very strong. I just call
River is a 10, I check again and hero bets large I think about 15k-25k IIRC
Hero??
My read on him is super strong but I decide to quickly call thinking AK is just too strong, but if Villian has not gotten out of line ever, except with preflop raise steals. is this a bad call? V has QQ(not sure how to hide it)
I was pretty happy that I didn't go bust and was just thinking it's not a very good spot to get busted, with top pair top kicker both being chip leaders
