    Default Pot + implied odds: bad call here?

    How do y'all read it? Early in a SnG, no read on the guy yet. I sat and thought about this for a while, and figured it was marginal but probably worth the call.

    Did I misplay?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Button (t1635)
    SB (t2765)
    BB (t1070)
    Hero (t1450)
    UTG+1 (t1160)
    MP1 (t1235)
    MP2 (t1540)
    MP3 (t1395)
    CO (t1250)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with , .
    Hero raises to t90, 2 folds, MP2 calls t90, 4 folds, BB calls t60.

    Flop: (t285) , , (3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets t190, MP2 folds, BB raises to t720, Hero calls t530.

    Turn: (t1725) (2 players)
    BB bets t260 (All-In), Hero calls t260.

    River: (t2245) (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t2245

    Results in white below:
    BB has As Th (two pair, tens and sevens).
    Hero has Js Ac (straight, jack high).
    Outcome: Hero wins t2245.


    My thinking was:
    • His bet looks to be protecting his hand, meaning he's afraid of the flush (and likely isn't drawing to it)
    • I have maybe 14 outs here (less if he flopped the straight, but calling a raise from the BB with connectors isn't a high likelihood)
    • If the flush card hits, I might be able to push him off the hand
    • If I hit the straight I'm probably good, and I'm getting a bit better than 2:1 to draw to it. This is a good price, isn't it?
    Don't know that he'd bet on the end if I hadn't goaded him into it (he asked if I'd pay that much to draw to a flush, I said I'd bet it if he didn't so he might as well.)
    Poker isn't about making hands, it's about making hands that get paid off. -- Rondavu

    In general, I don't like it. Can't be sure which of our outs are clean, and it's still early in the tourney - no reason to take a big risk at this point. He tried to push you off your c-bet with TPTK (which he called a raise with ATo and way overvalues TPTK hands - definitely worth noting)...let him have this one.

    But, if you're going to go the route you chose - might as well push the flop.
