Here is an interesting hand that I think I made the right play but you be the judge. Eight handed tourney top two make the money, start out with 1900 in chips. 4th hand into the tourney and the blinds are 25 25 with you to act the posistion before the dealer. Everyone within 200 of where they started.You are dealt 5 :D 5 :D amd the first person to act raises to 100. Seven people call with no additional raises and the flop comes out 5 :D 4 :) 3 :) . Person in the small blind makes it 200 with the next two people folding and the fourth person calling the 200. With my set I raise it to 800, half of my remaining stack to take it right there. 1400 in the pot at this point before my 800. Dealer after long debate calls and the small blind also calls with the remaining person droping.Next card to come is the six of :) and the small blind mutters how the card "screwed" him and checks. I check and the dealer very happily goes all in for 550. The small blind drops. I have 775 left but with all of the people left on the table I figure if I call and lose I am done. I know he has atleast a straight and maybe 7 high. In the pot there is 3300. I figure I have 14 outs with putting him on a seven making the low straight with a 2 worthless. Being about 18% I figure to win and it only costs me 500 to make 3800 so I have to call it and I do. Needless to say he has the 7 (he had K :) 7 :) ) and I get a queen :club: on the river for no help.Please note that the dealer was usually a tight player but on tilt at the moment by losing badly in the last tournament and the small blind was ususally a tight play but known to take chances for straights and flush draws especially open ended.Please answer these questions.1) What would you do post flop after the two 200 bets?2) What would you do on the turn after the small blind checks?3) Would you call the all in?

I think I'd save myself from having to answer #2 and #3 by just moving in after the two bets of 200 on the flop.

See I think I agree with you, if I was going to live and die with the hand anyway I should have done that and not give anyone the chance to call. Put to be honest part of me wanted to catch someone with a high pair or a busted draw, but I guess I got bit.Either should have put in 200 to let me walk away I think if onw of the draws panned or move all in to take the pot.
