I am one of those tight players. (If I were the one in the BB, I consider that money gone) but being on the button is entirely different. Tight players at this stage of the game and investing this much time to go this far, will limp in to see the flop with good down cards when not in the blinds. But, if they are coming in, they are playing a hand that they will be prepared to call a raise or all-in. With 5800 chips left, raising to 1600, has pretty much pot committed the rest of your chips to this hand. Basicly, you are committing your tournament finish with A/6. So, considering your BB $400 is already gone, why not just check off to see the flop. This tight player will limp in on the button with a great hand when the BB is basicly short stacked, hoping they will try to buy with a raise or all-in. So, once again, at this point I am going to be willing (if I am coming in to the hand) to be prepared to call a raise or an all-in and probably wanting one of the blinds to do it. Not saying that this is good play, I am learning better strategies now. But, I am giving you the thoughts of a 'tight player' and how to counter-act my play. Raising or all-in isn't going to get me off the hand. But, checking to see the flop and then pulling the all-in bet (Unless I hit the nuts) will get me to lay it down. Hope this helps. GG
