q9s in the sb

[JMotrain 0]

Mid stage NL tournament, I have about 6k, average probably somewhere around 9k. I get Q9s in the SB, and complete, BB (same chip count as myself), checks (2 limpers, button and midposition), blinds 100-200. Flop KKQ 1 spade, I check, BB bets minimum, MP + button fold, I call. Turn 8 of spades, I check, BB bet minimum, I call. River 4 of spades making me a flush. I check, BB bets 1k, your play? (Note: BB seemed like a solid player in my eyes.)

Call. 2nd nut flush to not much aggression, just call.

Call. 2nd nut flush to not much aggression, just call.

Calling is weak, you hit your backdoor flush and I doubt he was betting down with two spades. Minimum bets are suspicious but if you cold-call and he flips a K, you probably could have drained quite a bit more. Raise. Pushing will probably scare himyou want some value here. If he comes over the top, reconsider for the full house but this is a tournament and you have to take your plays where you can get them, which is before the blinds start eating your stack.

I'm guessing he has k-x. Since he bet the min. on the flop i would guess his kicker is low. So he may have u beat if he has k8 or k4 and since he checked in the bb u really have no way of knowing what he has. I think the fault in ur play here was playing so passively on the flop and turn instead of gaining some info which is what leaves u in this position. Judging by ur passive play i assume u ended up just calling. IMO I would move in as he will most likely call u with any k-x here whether he has the boat or not, and ur passive play suggests u probably just had a pair. I don't think he can put u on the flush or a k (at best k with very low kicker).
