My approach to this hand would be the same of squeezing when i'm playing a polarized range with the bottom of it; let's say, i am in hijack with 9s3s and squeezed a pf action that came into me and was called by the initial raiser; what i am looking for is basically two things:

• To flop at least two pairs and try to get a huge pot
• Try to take the pot right away if the sentence bellow doesn't happen

The thing is, even if i hit the 9, in a board like 9d 8c 2h, i am turning off the hand if my opponent show any kind of resistance and i will be glad if i went to a cheap showdown with my weak top pair; although if villain starts to being aggressive after my check, there's no reason to invest more chips with such a speculative hand, even if he's bluffing there will be better spots to fight for. Of course, i will try to balance it, making the second barrel sometimes but most of it, if my hand didn't improve on the turn, let's say that the board was 9d 8c 2s, i bet villain calls and the turn brings any spade, then i would almost always give the second barrel as a semi-bluff... hopping to find one of my 14 outs on the river.

It's exactly the same situation in this blind war... until the turn you had only invested 15% of your stack to try to get almost 20% of it; it's ok for a blind war... but when you checked turn and villain bets almost 70% of the pot (it's a huge bet), how good your K can be? Deciding to call here, against someone who have almost the same stack that you have it's a real tough decision (at least, it should be), because you have to think about two things:

• Your tournament life

• What will you do if he goes all in on the river (and in this situation, the villain will do that over than 90% of time, because his larger bet on the turn just creates the perfect situation for the river all in... it will not be an overbet and you will had invested almost 40% of your stack in this pot!!!! What you fold on the river that haven't fold yet (besides the flushdraw)?

  The best it's just fold for his huge bet on the turn... because it's really evident that what he's trying to do is to create a situation to go all in on the river... and maybe river can kill the action when it brings an A, J, 9 or club... but again, you don't have position, you are playing against someone who really hurts you and is telling to you that hit something huge... why continue investing with such speculative hand???

Another important point; generally you want to be involved in softer situations to a hero call with a bluff catcher, risk 93% of your stack in a bluff catcher is capitalize the effects of variance in your sample.

If in the same hand the action was:

• Flop -> hero bet, villain call
• Turn -> check, check

• River -> hero check, villain bets something like 2.200 chips

  Ok, now you may decide to use or not your bluff catcher... makes more sense... the numbers fit in your stack and your tournament life won't be affected by it. And what would be the borderline to make this call? You must balance it to won't be easily exploited, but i wouldn't take too much risk in those marginal situations, except if i have a hard level history against the villain and had some extra read that he might be spewing. Otherwise i wouldn't call something like more than 40% ~ 45% of the pot in this situation.

Regards!
