    Default $1 HU-SnG | 10/20, best value line?

    IPoker Network No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10.00/t20.00 Blinds - 2 players
    DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

    Hero (BTN/SB): t1300.00 65 BBs
    BB: t1700.00 85 BBs

    Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BTN/SB with 9 Q
    Hero raises to t60, BB calls t40

    Flop: (t120) 3 3 Q (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets t80.00, BB raises to t200, Hero calls t120

    Turn: (t520) T (2 players)
    BB bets t360.00, Hero raises to t500? to t1020 (allin)? Hero calls?

    This is the 9th hand and never played with villain before. He folded quite a bit, but didn't seem too passive and wasn't affraid to bet.
    I assume that my Hand is good most of the time, so the question is: how do I get the most value? I also considered 3betting the flop to ~450/500 and would have called his shove, but decied not to and to give him a chance to eventually bluff the turn. Any thoughts are appreciated.
    Losing player at 5NL, so take my advice on your hand with a grain of salt. Also I'm not a native English speaker, so I suck at writing as well.

    Well, villains checkraise seems funky on that board, but also seems kinda small. If he is tightish pre, you can discount him having a 3, so that leaves us with Q, pocket pairs and Ax. You can't beat any stronger Q, and raising the turn might give him chance to fold his bluffs and weaker hands. I think I would just call this down.

    Alright, thanks for your answer. Calling seems reasonable.
    How would you react to a A or K on the river and him betting (which woul probably be for stacks, considering potsize)?

    Might fold A. Not sure I fold if K comes.
