Default $26 MTT Sat - Inside straight draw against aggressive short-stack

Playing a multi-table super satellite and I'm down to the final three players. Top two get seats to satellite, third gets cash.

I've been going back and fourth in chips with the SB since the game became three handed, with him attempting to steal my big blind at least 30-40% of the time. Fortunately the SB donked off his chips to the big stack when the board had two pair and the big stack had a bigger two pair. Since then, he's been raising 70% of the time when I'm in the BB which I've been flat-calling about 50%, and my failure to hit a flop prevented me from sticking him all in or calling his all-in's.

This is the second hand after the break. The previous hand the SB and the big stack got it all in preflop - SB's J5o beat QJo on the river with a pair to double up.

No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (3 handed)

SB (t14120)
Hero (t25675)
Big Stack (t41205)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1800</font>, Hero calls t1200.

Flop: (t3000) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t6000</font>, Hero ????

With his stack either shove him PF or fold. I fold this trash as you have no FE and villain calls you very wide.

Btw: the converter seems to be broken .. the SB can't raise to 1800 with 1200 blinds.

something wrong with the converter - SB raises to 2400

fold preflop

fold on flop


calling with trash will only cost you chips - either resteal or steal yourself, but don't get involved in a postflop play with 75o.
