$10 on FCP
500 people in: 80 left, 40 paid.

Blinds are 200/400
Me: 8000
Villian: 12000 (Really starting to steal a whole lot of blinds and pull off some post flop bluffs. He's been raising most pots in LP with ax, kq-10, PP66+. He has a limped a few times and pulled bluffs w/ suited connectors a smaller pairs)
Average: around 8500

folds to villian im CO who calls
SB calls
I check in BB. (k 6 )

FLOP: (1200)
a k 2
SB checks,
what sort of lines do we like and why? villian wil bet if checked to. Villian may raise if bet into. Just wanted to hear some thoughts.

You are out of position, with a mediocre hand, against an agressive opponent who has more chips than you. Normally, I would lead out for 1/2 the pot or so, but if you are fairly certain that your opponent is going to at least call if not raise you, then it would seem like a waste of chips with your meager holding. He did just limp though, rather than raise from late position, so it is a judgement call IMO. I would not fault anyone for chekc/folding here against this type of opponent. If you had Q 6 and the flop came K Q 2, I would definately lead out, but with the ace out there, I would strongly lead towards folding.

With the sorts of hands I think he has and the way he plays them. Say 10j or 66.

the flop will go check,check, bet 1000
or
check, bet 1000, push

Given what I thought of his preflop play, what are we worried about at this poin?

Since no one else hit this thread, does anyone see any value to C/Ring this flop? (playing xx).

(played the last few tournies ultra aggressive compared what I am used to which i felt was sort of weak and just getting blinded off. Sooner or later i'l find a happy medium, but this tourey I was making very bold, reckless plays).
