Is this an easy call getting huge odds with only 2nd and 4th pair for tourney life?

Nah this is a cry and let it time down on you fold. You've still got a workable stack here.

If I fold, I have ~ 2600 with the blinds at 250-500, this pot is for the massive chip lead with ~ 30 players left.

o ok ya go down with the ship, if we had 5-6k i could see a fold.

How did your 2nd and 4th pair fair against his straight?

[mrpaddyx]

Did you call, after investing so much in the Pot its hard to do so?
As the previous poster said he probably has a straight, which was made on the turn, otherwise he would not have called your large bet on that street.

[TRB05]

No, I folded, and he showed AK45 for top pair, drawing at the gutshot, 2nd nut flush, and the A4 low, hence the post. I think I made a mistake, in that I basically gave up any chance at winning the tourney by folding and leaving myself with 5 BBs, but I just couldn't fathom a way that I was ahead. I bubbled, where if I make this call, I think I cruise to the FT.

By the way, I'm mostly a PLO Hi player, but I've played two of these tourney's the last few days and, they seem like they have huge profit potential. Plays like this guy made are pretty common. I think I'll be giving them a shot more often.

Ya, I'd say the profit potential is there.

Funny play by your opponent - weak calls on the flop and turn, interesting river move.

That's the sort of player you'd like to find in a cash game and start making notes on him.

[antistuff]

this is a bluff a whole lot.
