6th decision:

This is a new hand.

You are on the bubble now. Just one short of the money!

As usual at this time, most of the players will fold anything, the short stacks try to hold on as long as possible… and it lasts for ages…

Until this one hand where the player on the Button limps in on your big blind. He has 25BB in his stack.

As far as you know, he has qualified via a satellite tournament, and he is a very tight player who hasn’t played a hand for 2 hours.

The woman in the Small Blind folds.

So you are in the Big Blind. You hold 5♣Q♦ and your stack is 25BB. The exact same amount as the villain.

A bit tired, you casually tap the table and dully say, “Check”.

FLOP:

5♠5♥K♥

This is the kind of board that wakes you up immediatly!

His eyes hidden behind his sun glasses, villain pushes all his chips in the middle and says “All In”.

What do you do?

At this point, I am in Italian Job mode ("Self preservation society"). I still have a reasonable stack so I am not automatically pushing.

The thing that is influencing me the most is that this is a tight player. This means that when they limped, they were slow playing a decent hand. When they pushed on the flop, they probably have KK or AK or KQ or possibly KJ. The only hand I am worried about is KK. 

Given that the table image of this player is super tight, I have to believe they have KK. I think if they had Kx then they would be more cautious.

I reluctanly fold.
