Default Calling a big re-raise w/ trips v. multiple draws

PokerStars $10 multi table.

Blinds 25/50

Hero is UTG+1 ($1730) - Limps w/ 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
MP2 ($1430) - Limps
Cut Off ($1195) - Limps
SB ($4585) - Limps
BB ($865) - Limps

Pot $250

Flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets $300, folded to the Cut off who re-raises all in. This is the first hand the Cut off has played as he has been sitting out to this point.

It is still very early in the tournament. What would you do?

That is my opinion, but unforunately, this scenario has happend twice recently and both times they hit their str8. In my heart I know it is the right move...maybe I am just second guessing because it has gone the other way.

I'll try to be nice about this...don't post bad beats. You got your money in as a 3-1 favourite...be happy.

Thanks for the feedback...not trying to post a bad beat. I am trying to see if there is a flaw that I am missing. Trying to get myself over that hump.

You forgot to cast the anti-bad-beat spell before playing.
Also, you aren't thinking in the long run.

Instacall here, for me. Even if he does hit a flush, or a straight, you'll have chips left over to try to come back with. (Plus, you have one of the needed Jacks for a straight).

QQ or Q10 isn't pushing here. You have the best hand right now, and if you aren't going to call this, what are you going to call with?
