Sitting in my local game last night (The Red Tooth Poker League), which there was only about 8 players there for some reason, top 2 got paid and its down to the last 3.

blinds have now gone up to 400/800, everyone has had their 1500 top up.

Dealer - Villan 1 ( 3000) - From what i gathered this player is very very tight. Very rarely shows down a losing hand when he is in the hand. Folds

SB - Hero ( 9000)

BB - Villan 2 (12000) - Was a monster chip leader at the start. Bets alot of the time. Previously checked the turn after he bet on 3 seperate occasions on the flop, which every time he revealed a monster hand

Dealer folds and im 400 in with K 8 .... i call,
Probably a mistake with the blinds being so high am i right enough in saying its either all in or fold?
Villan 2 makes it a min raise...(i remembered him showing a 10 8 of spades last time he min raised from the BB, so i call.

Flop K 6 9

i check - and he leads out with 2k

now i realise the best thing i could have done was re raise all in... but for some bizarre reason...too many heniken i think i called

Turn 10

Once again i check, and he leads out 2k again

This is when i thought too much and remembered his previous 3 bets where he checked on the turn with a monster, so i was thinking why bet out with a strong hand, so i thought he was either on top pair trying to force me off the hand or on 2 pair

Now i know there was no point whatsoever in me calling. it should have been an all in. If he is sitting with 2 pair then im only giving him a drawing option

River 2

I check again and he instantly says all in

Obviously i thought about it, how high was his flush if he had one, did he miss it completely and try to put me off the hand, the 2 isnt really a scare card. So after being put on the clock i call my last chips away

Villan shows A

Out in 3rd.

Should i maybe have waited so Villan 1 busted out and that would have gave me extra points in our league?
Granted i am still a beginner and certainly not used to live games, but i really shouldnt be playing that bad
