    I'm clicking call, not in love with the spot though.  We're hoping he's raising for value with a worse hand I guess as I can't see many, or indeed any bluffs in his range at this stage of the tourney.  What are we scared of here, a limped A2 or 99?

    I might be calling off too light here but I do call.

    may well be losing , but i couldn't fold - your hand is so under repped he could easily be raising with worse

    The more I look at this the more I think call.  If the villain is the kind that limps with x2s (we've all seen the sort) then we now chop with plenty of them.  If he's open limping with 99 then he's hit his miracle and if he's super slow played A2 then thank him for not costing us more chips.  I think we see A9 a fair amount.

    Still not high fiving the dealer or anything though.

    Hi B

    Congrats for the main...thought i'd chip in. M will make the ctn bet and he knows that you know he will. K comes on turn and once his plan is set to check your check but rer / Raise on river then he wants AK in your mind even single pr containing A or K may be ahead to him and he will rep them. Yes there are a selection of hands that he may have bet that you aren't beating but for two reasons i'd call
    1. I'd still have a fair chunk of chips and in T
    2. You've not repped a hand really and just shown 'suspicion' as it were.

    Maybe there was a bit of meta game here as no doubt he's heard of you B.
