I am just back from a 50 EUR (~65 USD) Live tournament. Starting stack is 50K (and 15K dealer’s chips most players take it) and blinds: 50/100, 100/200, 150/300, 200/400 – 20 minutes each. So we are the 4th level. My image is tight, however I lost a big pot (Opponent had quads) and won a smaller one, I did not show down any hand yet.

My hand is K9s, I have about 55K stack and the table is 6 handed at the moment, I am one off the Button. First two players limp in (as they both do in every 2nd hand in average) and I raise to 2K, Button and the Blinds fold and both limpers call.

Pot is 6600, flop: 964r, they both check and I bet 3500, first player calls, the othe one folds. I think at this point that the majority of time (probably almost always) I have the best hand with top pair and almost top kicker.

Pot is 13600, turn: Q (no flush draw), Villain checks, I bet 7000 and he calls. I though the Q did not change much, he could have Q9 but that is only a small portion of his range.

Pot is 27600, river: 2 and Villain insta bets 20K (4 pieces of 5K chips) and now it is my turn… Pot is 47600 and I have about 42K left. Villain is a kind of player, who likes to see lots of flops, likes to call postflop as well and did some funcy bluffs already OTR when he had position. I thought the 2 OTR did not change anything and his action did not make much sense to me. So after about two minutes I called but would be interested in your opinion.
