This is the 29th hand of the tourney. I won 3-4 key hands and have just been running the table ever since. Villain seems like a pretty solid player. He's raised from the button almost every time since getting down to HU. He had pretty much exactly what I thought he had so I figured I had 10 outs to win it.

In hindsight I wish I had lead out for more, something like $800-$1000. By only betting $450 I was giving myself 1.8 to 1 when he pushes all in. Since I'm about a 1.6 to 1 dog it made the call more marginal than if I had raised more.

I still think it was the right call though, no?
