Ok Hero (That"s us) is in BB in Major Hold Em Pot Limit Tournament. Action folds round to cutoff where Villain makes a raise. He has raised the last 4 rounds on your BB. You look down and see the blessed sight of ad1 :as: .
Yes, you think got him.
You are both above average stack of 20k, you have 35k and he has approx 26k and blinds are 400/800. His pre-flop raise was to 2500.
How do you play it?
and I want pre-flop, and post flop play please.

I"d re-pot him. Make it look like you"re making a stand (I"m assuming you"ve folded the other times he"s come after your blind?). Hope he has a big hand and can stand the heat.
If he folds, it might slow him down in the future from thinking he can steal your blind - and so even though you won"t win much on this hand, it"ll reduce your losses going forward. Also, if he"s raising you with air, then you"re not going to get much off him unless he hits the flop (and of course you only want him to hit hard enough to call any subsequent bets, not to beat you at the showdown).
If he does call, you bet on the flop with a standard c-bet, and hope he pots it to scare you. You re-pop and get it all in.
He has KT and you lose to two pair on the river ;D.

As i said above this guy appears to be a serial raiser from the cutoff and has raised my BB from the cutoff the last 4 rounds. To give you a bit more information I have played him a few times before in GUKPT etc and he seems a solid enough player.
Remember this is a Pot Limit Tournament.

Did you fold each time to his raises from the cut-off the last 4 times?

I"d make the play I said above then. If not to get more into the pot, just to tell him to back off and leave your blind alone!
