8 players post ante of 600, SB posts SB 2,500, BB posts BB 5,000

Pre Flop: (pot: 12,300) Hero has A :club: J :spade:
fold, fold, Hero raises to 12,500, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 25,000, fold, Hero calls 12,500

Flop : (59,800, 2 players) K :diamond: 4 :spade: J :heart:
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn : (59,800, 2 players) A :heart:
SB bets 194,000

This is at the final table of a 500 person tourney, so losing a spot meant a big change in payout. I raised 2.5 as the table was playing very passive, as BTN and MP+1 were folding everything.

I don't have many hands against SB so if I'm putting him on a range, I would think TT+ and AQ+...maybe KQs and AJs. With 3.75:1 odds and position I decide to see a flop...

When he checks the flop, I'm thinking most AA, QQ, AK, KQs are gone from his range as I feel he would bet them. I check back incase he is checking KK or AA as any c/r I fold.

The confusing part is when he 4x pot the A turn... I feel this is a very scared bet and polarizes him to AQ, QQ or KK...with KK I feel he would bet less...and I'm dominating AQ or QQ...

My dilemma was this is a make or break situation for this tourney and a really strange line...what are people's thoughts??

Cheers,
TC

Don’t know exact the paid-outs of the tournament, but with 4 short stacks still in your risk a lot of money against the chipleader.
So I’m not surprised if you go all-inn on the turn that you need to win more than 60% of the time to make it profitable.
Other reason to fold here is that you have most likely an edge here.
I don’t want to give that up in a variance spot with enough good opportunities in the future to build up a healthy stack without risking your tournament life.

I agree that we can get away from this ott - though his line is ridiculous you do see a lot of nutted hands when players click it back pre and then go pot or bigger post.
