This is from the Monday £22 Deepstack mtt. The villain is a very solid medium stake cash player with a good tight mtt game. He will view me as a nit too, although we are both capable of making moves. Although moves this early would be uncharacteristic for both of us.
This being said, it's early and i am stacked up due to double up on other table so i decide to take a look at a flop with connectors from the bb.
I flat the turn to try to get paid more on river. im putting him on a strong hand so i should prob raise turn but dont want to scare him off. he is good enough to fold a big hand but he wont put me on 56.
Whats your move on the river? Also would u raise the turn?

As played if he's good he will bet an overpair on the river so I'd be c/shoving.
Given this then I think he's gonna be firing river with any overpair. check/shove IMO BUT if he is good and knowing your image I doubt he's gonna be calling a shove without a 3/house so a check/call is ok too.
Yeah man. Ram the lot in like a giraffe on a nun. Like the giraffe you will win everytime.
Thanks for your comments, i have learnt that:
1. I should fold pre.
2. I should c/c river versus this type of villain as he will only call a shove with a hand that is beating me. He played it very well btw.
Anyway, this is what happened.
