Hello everybody

This is a hand from 11$ deepstacks tournament of pokerstars.

I have an image of the oponent as very tight, only seen him playing 1 hand in the last 20 hands and without showdown.

Here is the hand:

Known Players:
[tg]Position_Stack: hands/vp$ip/RaisePreflop/AF/WTS/ORL/BBvsSteal/W$SD;Hero_5545:///////;MP2_7280:///////;BB_13297:///////;[/tg]
25/50 No-Limit Hold'em (8 Players)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy.com Elephant 0.85.1360.2169 by www.pokerstrategy.com

Preflop: Hero is UTG3 with A :spade:, J :heart:
Hero raises 150 to 200, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, 4 fold, BB calls

Flop: (625) A :heart:, T :spade:, 6 :diamond: (3 Players)
BB checks,
Hero bets 325,
MP2 raises 425 to 750, 2 fold, MP2 gets uncalled bet back

Final Pot: 1275

As i have a tight image of the oponent, after thinking for a while i thought i could well be dominated and decided to not invest more chips on the hand. On the other hand he could also be probe-beting me with only a midle pair, because many players dont believe that i have an A when i lead out beting on such a dry board.

Later i saw him playing KK on a similar way, so that could well be a probe-bet.

What do you think of my fold there? Did i played too weak, should i have at least called and bet again some 1/3 of the pot on the turn and then give up if he continued showing strenght?

Thank you for your opinions and coments.

Greetings.

on this dry board I check my TP and value bet on later streets
dont see much more weaker hands call u more then once ... and one valuebet u also can make on later streets
and so they cant raise u and get u into tough spots

as played ...
its guessing game ... he can bluff or hold nutz
overall u should fold the flop ... because of that i prefer to check
