My feeling for the villain here is that he's a bit on the loose and passive side. f_20090118Padm_cb467f6.gif I escaped and got away with a split pot, but dont care about the result of this specific hand (or the specific cards he turned over in this instance) - what are the thoughts on the way I played it? What should I have done better? I want feedback - so be harsh/honest :ok

Re: Brave and fearless or foolish and stupid? when he check raised you on the flop you should have folded. You had nothing but an open ended straight draw. He's indicated massive strength, there is no way you can put yourself ahead at this point, you have 8 outs for the straight and 3 to pair your Ace (which may not be enough to win the hand). At most 44%, but you need to down grade that number a bit to take into account other hands he may hold. In pure pot odds terms, it's super marginal but still probably a fold. In terms of where you are in the tourney, it's a screaming, honking, 100ft tall monster of a instafold
