    You really need to give more info on the CL, but even with a flush-and-gutshot-draw, I think it's a fold. You're behind now, and your flush outs could be seriously dominated (as in worthless).

    he was playing loose and said he was running late before and was going all in on alot of flops. He wanted to isolate the short stack

    If that's the case, then I think it's much more likely that all your outs are good, so a call is definately not out of the question. But if he's playing this crazy, then you could be as well off to wait for a few hands when you'll probably get all his chips anyway.

    I'd learn towards folding here.

    I think it's highly unlikely you're worse than 45% for the side pot and there's the 3k in the main to be considered. Also if you both call it's more likely between the two of you that the shorty will be knocked out and if you scoop you've basically won the tournament. Easy enough call personally.

    He turned over AA

    i would have hit the flush but it was nagging away at me. the SS had crap

    it was a tough call because he was so loose and prone to going all in on most flops

    and not because you had 4 hi?

    he cud easily of had qx d's providing the q was not a diamond... you only have 1k invested. easy enough fold for me. At this stage in a tourny when it looks like your 2CL, Im inclined not to be limping with low suited connecters in the first place, shortstacks like the sb pushing will only be giving you odds to call, and more than likely get you in trouble or dwindle down your stack if you miss. Pick a better position / stronger hand to take out CL/SS's. You have plenty of chips to go on and maybe take it down. Just because you would of won that particular hand does not make it the correct call.

    Is it 9000 to you in a 3000 pot? I suppose you have to fold but I wouldn't like it.

    fold pre-flop and save yourself all this angst (and indeed this thread)

    LOL

    Atlas at least if you call and lose your getting second place more than likely. You'll be favourite to finish second anyway if you fold here imo(because he will have much more chips than you heads up). Call if you feel your not prepared to play heads up agressively. Fold if you think you can take him heads up.

    Thats stuff sounds quite interesting but i'd say one would be hard pressed to find a seller?.

    Damn i didnt read there was 5 players left. This changes everything. How do i reply without it being more than one word?.
    My pennence for my entries in this thread is no more posts except in the bad beat section for the rest of the day*.

    *Unless someone comes on saying Chief Brody won his heat or something.
