So here we are on the final table of a 3$ MTT.
Villain in the BB has played very reasonable tight poker after 120 hands.
I just lost a big pot 2 hands before.

On the flop I feel I dont need to bet big here because of the diamond I hold. Still I want to bet to get it in somehow.
The turn hits the best card for me - I could check behind here but my hand is too strong for that? And a fourth diamond might kill the action. So I decide to bet again smallish just to get C/R.
Now I think, what can a tight player c/c the flop with and c/r the turn?
I dont see two pairs in his range here, because small cards would certainly c/r the flop.

Still I dont see me folding here at all.

With the king blocker to the flush and top set I need really good reads to ever fold here. Only against the nut flush you are in really bad shape and even than you have 10 outs to hit a full house or better.

Cheers,
