Well this must be your dream flop. I dont think that preflop was good. With only 15 bb you dont have the implied odds to hit a flop, but you have the reverse implied odds when you hit your draw. Like now. I believe that a push pre would have been more +$EV.

But now that you have called pre, I dont think that folding is a option on this board. You have the odds for it ot be +cEV. And maybe you are already in front.

Don't limp pre. If you are suspicious, then you should fold as you are hoping for a miracle flop and would be dominated by the hand you are suspicious of.

It's a pretty good flop…and if you are risk averse, fold. But I wouldn't count on your TP being good here as you are out kicked more often than not. More than likey you up against a similar draw and 2 pair.

you must get it in here, if not, why even enter the hand..you hit your flop so go with it.  I persoanlly fold pre due to your's and the villain's stack size.  Just remember the odds of you flopping a set is slightly better 11.8% than flopping a flush draw 11% so pretend you are holding pocket 3s here.  As mentioned before, you don't have the implied odds to just call.  I either fold or jam pre (wouldn't recomend)..but the way played you hit your flop and even have top pair to boot, so get it in and go for the win.

snap it in here – like bigdog says 'play every tourney to WIN' and bugger me if this isnt the way to chip up then i dont know what is!

fwiw even if i'm not suspicious of this guys limp pre ie even if he's a limping fish – i'm probably always folding.

Are you calling here guys?

I'm 7th/11 from 298 starters in this low stakes rebuy tourney on the Pacific network. 20th to 11th places all get paid the same small sum, then there are significant pay jumps with each position.

 

 

You got to play to win the tournament.

Whatever decision you make (unless it's a satellite where 1st-x ALL get the same tournament entry/ticket, same prize, etc) you're never worried about 11th place vs 9th place, etc.) should only be based on what is the best decision to try and win the tournament. I'm not saying become the maniac that shoves chips in bad. But never let your judgment or analysis be clouded by the difference between one or two pay jumps.

Long term you'll be better off with a tournament win a 9 11th place finished than 10 8th place finishes.
