I was playing a 1 on 1 $5.25 buy in no limit holdem tourney winner gets 10 bucks on paradise today. Both of us start at 1000 chips, we were at the 18th hand with blinds 10/20. I had a slight chip lead with 1500 to 500. I had K8 off and called from SB. Opponant raised to 40 preflob and I straight called. Flop comes T  8  T  . I figure I have the best hand playing heads up. I bet min 20 and am straight called. 4th st is T  . Bam I hit my boat and bet double BB 40. Get raised 160. Whoa, I have to think for a sec, did he get quads? Big pocket pair of pictures? I straight call. next card 7 . I bet BB 20 chips. I am raised with an all in and if I call and lose I am down to about 500 chips. Its still very early. I think well I did get raised preflop so maybe a PP but I dont think he has the T cause of that raise. After way to long of pulling my hair out I call and he had big slick. Quick 5 bucks earned but I am not sure if I should have called. Well I know I should have now but if I would have lost I think I would be kicking myself pretty harsh right now. Oh well, that gambling. Jusat wanted to share.

As I was reading your story I felt pretty sure he had a PP.

Something doesn't add up here. You had 1500 to 500 lead, even if he goes all in, you call and lose you're still only down to 1000, not 500.
