Default PS $60 - Do I Have Odds to Call?

Very early, no reads on Villains. Getting almost 4:1, who's gambling in this spot?

okerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter

Hero (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1400)
MP1 (t1470)
MP2 (t1730)
CO (t1700)
Button (t2610)
SB (t1570)
BB (t1520)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t90, CO calls t90, Button calls t90, SB calls t75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t480) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, MP2 calls t300, CO calls t300, Button folds, SB folds.

Turn: (t1380) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets t1340 (All-In)</font>, CO calls t1310 (All-In), Hero ????

Aha, I see you have the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Missed that at first. With that, I think it's a pretty reasonable call. When you're behind you'll probably have 10 or so outs, assuming the flush and one of the other A's is out there. Add in some chance of total lunacy and I think it's an okay call, though certainly not one that you must make.

If the A isn't a heart, then I think you have to fold, as much as it sucks.

Wow, this is a pretty tough spot in a $60, there just aren't enough total donkeys to make this an immediate call.

However, I think you have to go for it because you have the Ah. You have 13 outs against a set, and 7 against a flush. Given that you can see both the A and the K of hearts, I think I'd take the chance here.

You don't have seven against a flush. You have 11.

I'd call knowing if I win the hand I'm taking down the turney [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. Plus, even if it is a netural EV call, its so early that booting another right up is just fine.

If you're platinum, factor in the 63 fpps and its a EASY call [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (joking of course)
