U shud never let ur self get in this spot!! Raise pre, as played make it 180 and get them in as fast as poss!! U cnt flat the 63, just jam 100% of the time thr.

I am not sure about the raise pre flop ... for the following reasons.
a/ I don"t want to create a massive pot and end in a coin flip.
b/ I am happy to play a mutli way pot with hands like AKs - which may get paid well if it hits.
Does anyone change the way they play this if in the early stages of a deep stack tournament?

In terms of the hand itself ... I liked the limp ... but agree I should have re-raised to isolate the Big Straddle.
Instead I elected to flat call the £63 ... everyone else folds.
Flop is Q86 ... two diamonds ... I have AK spades ...
Big Straddle all in for £110 ... do I call?

As played, easy fold and brush-it-off that you"ve only lost 10% of your stack.

You"re also gonna end up paying people off a lot when you hit TPTK and they hit their 2 pair or whatever.
Assuming stack sizes are similar proportions I play it pretty much the same in a tourney, I"m def happy to flip against a guy playing 20-25x

Does this change at all if you are sure that the "big straddle" will push with any flop? (Well maybe not the one he hits hard).

Yes - the two pair scenario is sick - actually earlier in the night I won a big pot with A2s into A2x
Defo - I raise if in a later position - Defo raise without the straddles.
Cannot fold - but feels highly likely flipping for a large pot or winning £15 of blinds/straddles.
In a tournament I am happier with my play ... two pair argument aside ... I would not be keen to flip for 20-25 BB though.
I don"t like my £63 flat call ... though there is a bit of history of AA/KK limping wait for the late raise/steal.
Still pondering the route to keep this pot small ... looks impossible ...
