125 dollar buy in tournament
16k starting chips
Few tough coolers to start putting hero starting stack at 10k
Blinds 500/1000
Pickup Q9 suited UTG limp (Ik not ideal play but did not want to get three bet and have to fold as I don’t want to play Q9 out of position and have not seen decent hand in almost an hour)
Villain: AK raises to 3500 on the button. Fairly tight player but has been regularly raising on the button to steal blinds and punish limpers and play marginal hands in position.
Hero: calls and is only caller
Heads up flop: Q 10 4 rainbow
Hero: Is going to check but sees villain already counting out his C bet and decides to shove all in and put decision on perceived tighter player.
Villain: Takes 4 minutes in tank to make the call
Board runs out 7 and then gives him the Jack for the straight.
Anything I could do to improve on this hand or just an unfortunate river but hand was played decently.
