Hand Analysis

[daftpegasus]

Part 1 - Pre flop I played a live game last night and have analysised this hand in my head most of the night, particularly on the long journey home. I think I know where I went wrong but would appreciate your thoughts on it:ok The tournament is a £15 freezeout (largest buy in i've ever played for) and there are 11 players left, top 10 get paid - bubble time. 5 players left on the table and villian is small blind (4000) and I'm BB (8000). Both of us have between 50K and 60K of chips which is a decent size stack (probably top 2 chip stacks on the table but he has a few K more than me) Reads on Villian - he has raised in the past with 73o and shown his bluff and for the last 4 times around he has raised my BB. The time I reraised he folded. The table folds around to the SB and he raises to 2xBB. I have A4 clubs. OK what should I do?

• Fold and get into the money (no one at our table is really short stacked, most have about 30-40K - not sure on the other table) before starting to play more agressively?
• Call and see if the nut flush hits
• Raise and assume he's stealing chips, if so how much?

Thanks for your help.
