Well raise folding top pair to "see where you are" is generally bad because you effectively turn a strong hand into a bluff. You would need to be 100% confident he would not jam worse to correctly fold which then also means he doesn"t proceed with his weaker hands which you want to get value from.
Jon MW:
108 is an irrelevant sample, but doesn"t that say he c-bets 100% of the time on the flop? (or does that mean something else?)
Generally I don"t think this kind of software is ever likely to be any good in tournaments (unless you"re playing >4 tables at a time) - it will take a long long time to get a decent sample size on any opponents, and even when you do you"ll have met them at different points in the tournament so it won"t reflect a consistent background. It might be good for cash but I don"t think it"s worth it for MTT"s.

I"d shove pre as a semi bluff
If he folds (as he will most of the time) you"ve added over 10% to your stack, if he calls you"re "likely" to be about 2:1 underdog (hence why it"s a semi bluff not a value shove) - but you"re getting pretty short stacked, if you"re not going to take a risk now then how bad does your situation have to be before you do?

Raise on that flop to around 650 in position, If he"s raised pre with a bigger King pre then you"ll prob find out if you"re behind and save yourself the call call call down the streets and more chips.

Don"t do this.
Like the way you"ve played the hand thus far. Board is pretty dry so it"s a bit of a meh spot. Has he shown any tendencies to barrel off previously?

Why not do this George? Mark has ended up calling off 850 chips by the turn only to fold on the river. Are you just gonna call this guy down every street and hope you"re ahead or would there be a different plan?

I"m not hoping. When I play poker I make decisions based history/reads and game flow. You"re raising the flop not for value but for information which is effectivley allowing your opponent to play his hand perfectly against you ie: fold worse/call or raise with better or even worse getting bluffed off the hand by a capable opponent.
Don"t be afraid to play through the streets. Poker is about making correct decisions and playing a multi street pot and getting put to the test is something I very much enjoy about the game, especially when you make the right one. Granted it"s tough to know whether folding was the right one in this case but imo mporter played the hand well. I think jamming pre id fine but don"t mind a call here pre BoB either
