Default 1+.20 18man top pair/flush draw

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t50/t100
7 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1475
UTG+1: t2087
MP1: t525
CO: t1635
Button: t4730
Hero: t2203
BB: t845

Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls t100 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t150)</font>, 3 folds, Button calls t100 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t250)</font>, Hero calls t50 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t350)</font>, BB checks.

I called preflop because I'm the SB and it's a cheap way to catch a big hand.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t400, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets t300</font>, BB calls t300 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t700)</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises all-in t4630</font>, Hero???

I had a feeling this was coming. Now what?

Given the preflop play, under what circumstances could you even consider laying this hand down? Button may have possibly have you outkicked or a set of dueces. In those cases, you have around 10-12 outs twice or more. But if he has a suited Ace of diamonds, you are ahead by a decent amount and obligated to call.
