Top pair flush draw, three way action

    5 handed in a £90 sixpack on betfair, two get paid. 2nd is essentially money back though, you need to get 1st for any sort of decent money. I have 1100, just above the starting stack, and blinds are 25 -50.

    I get dealt Kh3h in the bb, and there are 2 limpers, sb completes, and I check. flop comes 10 K Q, with two hearts. I bet out 100, which is a bit dangerous I know. The early limper min raises to 200, leaving himself 800behind, and the late limper goes all in for 1300. SB folds, and it's up to me. I'm almost positive my flush draw is good if it hits, and also certain that the early limper will call one/two all ins. But I'm also positive that my king is no good. So I'm not really getting quite the odds to call here, but should I call anyway considering the steep payout structure? Also if I win this pot I'll have just over half the chips in play vs 2 short stacks who I can bully on the bubble.

    Id say your flush will probably be a winner but i fold here, if the blinds were higher i'd push the flop. Sayin that top 2 only.... but more often than not ill let it go here

    Ah feck it call and take that chance

    i fold this, no need to get involved with most of the donkeys i see in these with marginals, most of them suicide themselves b4 the end of level 2 anyway.

    When you say that you think your flush draw is good do you also mean that you believe no one else has aflushdraw?If so I think that a call is good here. If you think someone else may have a flush draw then the call is probably break-even but perhaps still best practice considering the payout structure.

    Yeah I was pretty certain there were no other flush draws out there. I called anyway, I was in a gambly mood. One guy had J9 for bottom straight, the other had KJ for top pair open ender. I didn't hit.

    your essentially calling all your stack to hit a flush .you said your self you K in no good and i agree.i dont think your 3 is any good either as i think one of them has at least more than top pair.so you have 35% chance of winning and 65% of busting.blinds being as low as they are you still could get a better chance.
    having said that seen as you wanna win this,35% chance of triple up here is not so bad seen as if u win it u pretty much have this in the bag with only 3 players remaining.i would prob fold but wouldnt fault any one who called wither.

    If you're sure there's no other flush draw, then you are getting the correct odds to draw to the flush (1.9:1 is sufficient). You reckon that you will the tournament if you win this pot, that only serves to make calling even better.
