I'm one of the chip leaders at the table. Playing tight, somewhat aggressive. Blinds are 3k/6k. Avg stack is possibly 60k. I've got approx 90k. Table has been playing surprisingly tight - they want to make the final table I suppose. Lately it seems that any raise takes down the blinds.

I am dealt ATs UTG. I raise to 18k, expecting no callers as usual. The button pushes for 2k more and the BB calls with about 30k remaining, after verifying that I can't re-raise if he calls. These 2 have been pretty quiet at the table, playing a fairly conservative game. Pretty sure I'm behind here but I can't fold for 2k!

Flop comes QJT, rainbow giving me bottom pair, top kicker and a backdoor flush draw with a gutshot. BB checks, which I found surprising. Does anyone bet here? I checked behind.

Turn comes with another T, completing the rainbow. BB now pushes his remaining 30k. I figure I am behind a lot of hands that inexperienced players (or trappers?) might just call with PF - AK, QQ, JJ, QTs, JTs, 98s, K9s but I do have a few outs against some of these hands. I'm also ahead of a lot of hands that would have just called and pushed if they felt I was weak or behind - all other PPs, KQ, KJ, KTs, Txs, AQ, AJ, Axs.

I'm getting about 3 to 1 on my money. If I win, I am the chip leader (by 40-50% over 2nd) at the final table. If I lose, I'm down to about 6xBB. Do you call here?

Think about it from his angle.

Your check behind on the flop on the drawy board is telling him you have nada or very little.

If you call you get shown hands that you beat lots. "all other PPs, KQ, KJ, KTs, Txs, AQ, AJ,"

I get it in here
