I don't play tournaments (this was my first one ever), but I understand basics like playing really tight early on and shoving any two once the M ratio reaches a certain point. This is a live midnight tournament.
The tournament started with 28 people or something, each of whom got $1,500 in chips. We are now down to 15, and the blinds are at $50/$100, about to go up to $100/$200. I call with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] from the SB after 3 limpers and the BB raps. The flop comes 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I check, the BB bets $150, 1 caller, MP raises to $600, 1 caller, and I shove. How's my line? |

Stack sizes?
You have to pray that you hit and no one fills up. I don't think you have any fold equity aginst MP or the caller. You gotta put one of them on a 9 and the other on a smaller flush or straight draw. I would probably push also and hope fopr the best. I would have also raised it PF with all that dead money. |

Right, stack sizes are important. I was pretty drunk so I'm not sure exactly, but I had about $1,600, and most people were around $1,200 to $1,500. The guy who called the raise to $600 was definite chip leader, probably had about $3,500.

Worse is that is is also on a flush draw, maybe straight flush (J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]). Worst case is that he has pocket 77's and flopped a boat and is slow playing. But, donkey I am, I sill push because I'm always playing for first and could triple up this hand.

I guess this, though somebody definitely has a 7, thus some of your outs are gone. You are really chasing just a flush draw here, forget about the A. Plus, I think you may be against a 9 or a set of 7s, so drawing dead is not out of question yet. I fold. Barry |

I think that Barry has the right idea. There is too much action for you to have any confidence that you are drawing live. Fold and wait for a better spot. Preflop is certainly correct but all that rum before the game is a little iffy. gl and way to get some live experience.

Starting chip stack has no relevance now, we need current stack sizes to provide decent advice. |
