the min raiser villian has shown donkish calling station tendencies (stays on two overs through turn at first level), but it's only the 2nd level:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG+1 (t10925)
MP1 (t8275)
MP2 (t8425)
MP3 (t11925)
CO (t10450)
Button (t10600)
Hero (t9800)
BB (t9875)
UTG (t9725)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q

, J

.
5 folds, CO raises to t200, 1 fold, Hero calls t150, BB calls t100.

Flop: (t600) T

, K

, 9

(3 players)

what's the optimal line? check-raise? bet?

What do you do when you are raised. Doesn't that give away your hand more if you 3-bet. Also, you don't build the pot much if you get called.

Isn't a standard sized bet or a checkraise less likely to scare people.

depends on the raise, I don't see a call giving away this amount of strength at all. Its also image dependent, if you are a monster nit than yeah its fishy, if you've been splashing around I don't think I would pick up that I was facing a monster.

I've splashed around a bit. I was up to 11k after winning a hand, then down to 10k after raising, c betting, folding. I was probably seeing 25% of flops from all positions. I was playing uber tight in the blinds, looser in later position, though I don't know if it was apparent at this point.

I checked, hoping to check raise. both villians check behind. turn pairs the board with 9h. hero?...

Nath - you would raise PF? or fold?

I bet 200. one calls, other folds. river is T, double pairing the board. I check, he checks behind with As2s.
