I would appreciate any advice on this situation that occurred in a tournament last night.
Pokerstars $1 No-Limit 5 Card Draw. 330 runners. 42 paid. 1st place $69.39.
Starting stack 3000.
1 hour in, we have been hitting everything. Even when we reraise pre-draw with a made straight and stand pat, they still bluff-shove their much smaller stack with a set or 2P as if I"ll fold. The last hand before the break I get KK, draw 3 and end up with KKK77 and get paid a couple of thousand.
10.55pm break: 1/220. Fish fingers are on the grill and macaroni is in the microwave.
Have two other tournaments on the go but not much happening for me in them.
Villian is hottie we have seen casually a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, who turns up at this point and wants to go clubbing. I had thought I were in the clear as she had gone out for a meal with "a friend", but it unexpectedly turns out to have been exactly that. Some work would be required to make me fit to be seen in public.
Any advice is welcome. I won"t reveal the outcome yet as I don"t want to be too results-orientated.

I think the clue is in the word "hottie". Ask her if she wants to go "out" or "out out" and take it from there.

Tough spot as you state... Hmmm usually I would suggest that you download the Stars app on your phone/ iPad , but unfortunately it doesn"t allow 5 card draw at this time..
Do you have any " live tells " on the villain ? Will they fold if you suggest " going all in" or would they call your bluff?..do they appreciate you " coming over the top" what are their " heads up " skills or do they easily " blow" a stack? .. I think all of these thoughts have to be taken into consideration before you make a +EV or - EV decision..
Look forward to hearing how you coped with this tough spot, hope you didn"t take a bad beat.

I hear the blue oyster bar has a pretty relaxed dress code John. I say go for it.

Eat the fish fingers, much nicer than macaroni imo
