Hmm, I'm not sure on this one. First instinct say call, just because its early in a re-buy. People often don't adjust straight away and are in crazy all-in mode a bit still. Also the re-buy period tends to re-ward the super aggro players who might not play so well later, so there's a lot of them around still, with some big stacks.

Also this flop makes we think we see a king and a flush draw enough to make this worthwhile.

That said, the BB bet is pretty scary. This deep, and with him in the BB, he could have pretty much ATC pre-flop, he's hit something though enough for him to CRAI...

He could definitely have a low set, or two pair - K5 or something. He also could be going a bit nuts with a flush draw.

I'm not too woried by MP1.

We've got bloody good odds though, which suggest a call. I think I use up my time, look BB up on OPR, if he looks decent I fold, if not I call...

call - you will bust out against a set sometimes - 2 pair is very unlikely with this flop (who calls with K5 after an UTG raise?).

first raiser could have a semibluff flush draw, and second one AK, KQ...

there are so many possibilities and you got huge odds.

I can't say no to the chance to nearly triple here. Like Lev said, you'll hit a set sometimes but not often enough to make this a bad call.

Call and hope you don't get flushed out.

Appreciate the advice guys...against my better judgement I folded. They both showed AK and I would have held.

Next hand I doubled when I flopped the nut straight. Gave me the chip lead, but I would have been MONSTER chip leader if I make that call the hand before.

Thanks again guys.

I would've called expecting to see a flush draw and KQ/AK and then killed myself when the flush hit on the river...

I still think the BB is the problem. What kind of king high hand calls a huge all in like that, but doesn't re-raise? Thats pretty much KQ, KJ... A flush draw wouldnt have the odds to call, so we should really rule that out. I'm pretty suprised he had AK here, but then again, what do I know.

Nasty spot, but I'm pretty this is a fold this deep. When I'm running bad I always try to figure out what hands they might be doing this with that I'm beating to justify I call but always get shown a set or something else that beats me. So yeah, this is a fold imo, I just have to start making them.

For BB do this w/ KQ or KJ is pretty sucicidal, so unless we have a read on BB being an idiot, I think his range is much more heavily weighted towards sets, nut flush draws or some sort of combo draw like a pair+flush draw (5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) or nut flush+straigh draw like A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

$10r. No one folds a king and everyone thinks an A high flush draw is the nuts so stove :

KT, KJ, KQ and AK, 555, 333 and Ax [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and I think you'll find this is a pretty easy call.

If I had A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], I'd like it less but it's still an easy call.
