Where are you at in the tourney? How many people started? how many left? How many places paid?

With blinds and stacks as they are, I'd suspect you are pretty far from the money.

Some would fold, some would call. I'm leaning more toward calling. Ff you win, just think how big your stack would be. It makes my mouth water.

I'm thinking you may be up against trips or an overpair. Otherwise, he's bluffing into a dry pot.

a definite call. even it were to go bad, with your stack size relative to the blinds, you could make a recovery.

he didn't try to isolate you preflop, so i wouldn't put him on AA or KK. maybe another AK.

call it.....like someone said earlier, nut flush draw plus two over's(way over's), he's in the BB, so, he could pretty much have anything (trips, 2 pair, straight draw)...all of which, i believe would work in u'r favor once a spade hits.

I think you can rule out ANYTHING after so much pre-flop action.

I agree....With your stack, and what you would have left even if you missed your draw, you'd be fine to recover and make it back with solid play.

This to me would be a click on "Call" faster than my hands could move Smile

How'd it turn out?

Very Happy

I think our Hero should consider going all-in on the flop immediately, instead of checkraising. I have been thinking about this for the past hour, and I can't seem to come to a conclusion wether I would check call all in, or just put them all in immeditaely.

Seems like it is worth considering.

I would definitely call the bet the way the hand was played.

Our hero is golfer. (You're my hero, golfer) and he didn't check the flop. The other person went all in immediatly. Golfers only choice is to call or fold.

I'm surprised how many people are saying to call. Though that's my advice as well, I expected at least 1 or 2 to consider folding.

I'll play devils advocate, just to give both sides a voice.

You are on a draw, and the pot is already 3 way. Both you opponents limp-raise or call-raised pre-flop. It looks certain that longcast made his all-in decision based on the flop. He chose to call pre-flop and stopped pushing. I'm thinking it's obvious that he had a good hand pre-flop that turned into a great hand post flop.

I'm really fearing trips or an overpair. Against trips you are still a dog if the board pairs. You have outs, but your opponent has outs against your flush. It is on this board that I notice cards like 2s coming down. Completes your flush and gives your opponent a full house.

With blinds at 100 / 200 you are short-stacked if you lose. And you are giving someone at your table a huge chip advantage. Even with the money you have already put in you can fold and keep a stack of about 5,000 in chips. This is plenty to survive and push others around.

My thinking was, huge pot, lots of outs, many to the nuts, and win this hand and I could cruise to the money with a higher objective of winning or final table. You have to take risks like this to win. Played it right but lost. Crying or Very sad Ended up getting blinded out with no good hands until all in with pocket 6's.

You have about 15 outs (not including other players aces/kings), so about 13-15 outs, pot committed... Call it

you was actually the favourite on the flop so it was the right thing to do. you could argue with it being an MTT opposed to a cash game a fold is better. It would depend on your skill level compared to everyone else and the chances of you making deep money calling vs folding.

Don't think pot commited in tournaments. You are never pot commited.

If you think you are beat, get out while you still have some chips. One of the big rules in tournaments, "When you're out, you're done." No rebuys like in ring games. It's better to fold a hand and have 5 chips left, than to call when you know you are beat.

You've put 3,900 in preflop and then hit a great flop that gives you outs no matter what they have. Its pretty obvious Longcast has a high pocket pair. Hope its lower than kings and make the easy call.

And Humph, that's true at the river if you know you're beat. At the flop, with a great draw to the nuts and probably 2 overs, you should be considering all the chips you put in already and the pot size. If everyone limped in here, sure, fold it and wait for a better hand. But that's not the case here. Obviously he's beat at the flop, but he has good odds to win the hand, and I think he has to call it.

Sorry, in this situation I am in 100% call mode.

I was speaking in general. If you are on the river, and you know you are beat, fold. Just as you said. I was adressing alliving's statement as a general statement about being pot comitted. I say there is no such this as pot commited in tournament.

I dont wanna sound noobish, but seriously, the pair is already made, the ak youre on a draw, good odds, but still a draw, I just dont see it possible. Granted if you hit the draw you win...but the other is still already made.

But you have to remember that favorite says who will win at the end, not who is ahead. Both players are trying to catch cards. golfer is loking for a K, A or Spade and longcast is looking for the other cards.

Run this hand 100 times, golfer will win more than 50 and that makes him a favorite.
