tough decision in the ukipt DTD

(1/3) > >>

WYoung83:
 I dont think i have posted any hands on here so may aswell make this my first, as it has been bugging me for a couple of days.
I am UTG with a stack size of 28,000 and blinds of  100 /200/ 25. Starting pot is 525 and i have "M" 50ish and 140 BBs, so i am quite deep and comfortable on my very agressive table.

I get delt  ad kd and raise it to 600. 1 caller and the SB comes over the top with a 3 bet for 2,500. Short stack in the BB shoves for 2,000 and i decide to flat the 2,500......(dont tell me to now 4 bet, because its not my style, and this is not the issue anyway)

the origional caller to my open raise, flats the 2,500 which i fully expected, and we take a flop of  6d 7d 9c with 2 diamonds i have the nut flush draw and 2 overs.....
SB cautiously checks, and i check ( intending on check raising or taking a free card, either way i dont mind right now)
To my surprise the other guy shoves all in for 40,000 and easily covers me and the SB. The SB folds.
I have over 100bbs if i fold, and the possibilty that i have even less outs than the 15 which i would hope for. If he has a set then my overs are no good, and my flush out is 1 less which gives me just 8 clear outs and a 32% chance of winning with 2 streets to come.

If i call and win, then my stack goes to 60k and gives my ammo to dominate the table and really use my chips to push these guys around, but if i loose im am busto.

Any tourney specialists out there who can help me? Was it worth a call to gain chips and use them to make a push for mine-field stadge with a monster stack. Or was it right to fold and carry on with trying to grind away with100bbs.

not wanting to be results orianted, i wont tell you the outcome untill i get some replies....thaks

AMRN:
happy to rrai with this hand, but you clearly don"t have the pot odds to call his open overshove..... you need 2:1 assuming you have 9 clear outs, but with the big overshove you aren"t getting that.   simple fold imo.

Eck:
40k into a 10k pot? Ali Mallu by any chance?

Swinebag:
I would probably flat here pre as well. would hate to 4 bet fold here.

I"d fold to that donkey shove with such a decent playable stack behind. I"m pretty sure you are a favourite to win here (you may even be ahead now), though there is a chance you are not. There just is no need to play a big pot at this stage of the tourney. Wait for a better spot, hopefully against the same oppo!!

LongshanksED:
dont mind the call pre but the best play would probably be to re raise all in pre to try and isolate and take the race

fold the flop - far too spewy to call
