Hey - i am folding the river here.

He bet sizing is pretty substantial. Do not know if u have history with him / specific reads but this - looks super strong to me. He is basically committing himself to the hand on the river.

150/200 Flop.
375/500 Turn
925/1250 River

If you are wrong (beat) - your tourney is over. Save the river bet and play shove / fold the next level - my plan of action.

He could easily have AJ KJ here.

Was thinking about that, thats looking really strong, but guy stats was crazy... like 60/45 so decided to lookup :)

Tourney wasn't over yet... all u need is chip and chair :) (have examples of winning tourney when i was down to 1 BB left)

No way I am folding to a 60/45 fish. You can either raise/stack off on the flop. Or call down the way you did. If we were holding QT on T72ss with no FD, I would advocate for raising just because there are lot of cards to devalue our hand. With QJ it's a bit closer, can go both way, but I still think I like raising the flop a bit better.
