[B]Here is your question for the week:[/B]

Imagine that you're playing in an online MTT, down to 4 players away from the bubble, no antes. You have been recently moved to a new table, and have very limited information on the player directly to your left. With no HUD data, you've only been able to make a few observations:
[LIST]
[*]Appears to be playing mostly TAG style pre-flop: tight range, never open-limping, and usually raising or re-raising when they do enter a pot.
[*]Very "sticky" player who absolutely hates to fold once they've put money into the pot, has always defended blinds.
[*]Post-flop, they have pushed other players off of pots several times with very large bets and raises. You have not seen any showdowns involving this player.
[/LIST]
On this hand, blinds are 400/800, you're in the SB with 16,000 chips and  :ah4::2h4: .

Villain is in the BB with 48,000 chips.  Action has folded around to you, so you limp in for 400 chips.

Villain raises to 2,400 from the BB, you call and see a flop of :9s4::4s4::2d4:.

Pot size is 4,800 chips.

You check, villain checks.

Turn card comes :ks4:.

You bet 2400 chips, and villain shoves all in.

What could you have done differently to avoid this situation? Are you going to call or fold, and why?
