Just finished the $4000 guaranteed tournament on Fulltilt. Here's a hand from the tourney. We're down to ten players and I'm 5th or 6th at this point. The villain is somewhat of a calling station. I've seen him make some loose/marginal calls. I've been playing pretty tight the whole time and the hands that I've gone to showdown with have been solid. The villain has been sitting to my right for the majority of the tournament.
Villain is on the button.

I was busted out in 10th place shortly after this hand.
Knowing that the raiser had made some loose calls, should I have played it more conservatively by just calling before the flop since I was in a comfortable position to make the final table?
