The min bet after being checked to here strikes me as a really bad bluff attempt of a really weak hand which i can get him off.After being called on the flop i decided to let him have it if he bet, he didn't, and so with a card i thought was harmless on the i played the hand through in my head and decided this guy probably had too weak overcards like QT or something, i guess i was wrong.

Satellite= Pots without resistance > Ending tourney on a hunch.Don't hate limp pre-flop (don't love either).Don't like flop raise. Stop and go on turn better. Flop bet is likely looking for a call, not depending on 3 ppl to fold. Your hand is likely dead to 4 outs at this point (3's), as hitting your 2 outer for a set would put a 4 card straight on the board. You aren't even semi-bluffing at this point. You'd hand would be more live if it was magically overcards.Hate river bet after turn check. Worse hand lays down, anything ahead of you does exactly what happened, and you are now pot-committed. Fold here hurts image, makes stealing harder. Calling here is bad, we aren't ahead nearly enough to make this profitable and we are losing a ton of equity.

I dont mind the limp preflop because the blinds have good stacks and so does the MP limper. Hit your set and youve probably "won" the tournament. Youre giving up 2/3 M when your M>10, so I think its worth the gamble. BUT, its set or fold. You dont have the stack to dick around with anything that isnt the near nuts. Check/fold the flop.
