Sorry if the format is a little ugly, I couldn't find a pokerroom tournament converter. Deep in a $20+2 tournament...

Seat 1: Hero [ J /images/graemlins/club.gif,A /images/graemlins/heart.gif ] ($15,425 in chips)
Seat 2: MP + 1($25,390 in chips)
Seat 3: CO ($18,562 in chips)
Seat 4: Button ($7,185 in chips)
Seat 6: SB ($19,186 in chips)
Seat 9: BB ($14,215 in chips)
Seat 10: UTG ($10,881 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
SB posts blind ($400), BB posts blind ($800).

PRE-FLOP
UTG folds, Hero bets $2,200, MP + 1 folds, CO folds,
Button folds, SB calls $1,800, BB calls $1,400.

FLOP [board cards A /images/graemlins/spade.gif,3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif,7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif ]
SB checks, BB bets $2,700, Hero bets $6,000, SB folds, SB calls $3,300.

TURN [board cards A /images/graemlins/spade.gif,3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif,7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif,J /images/graemlins/spade.gif ]
jcat22 bets $6,015 and is all-in, pokerhooker1 folds.

Was a raise on the flop with what figures to be the best hand the right move knowing that I would fold if another spade hit and he bet? Should I just call and hope no spades come? Of course, a spade rolls off the turn and he goes all-in... a no-brainer fold, despite having top two pair.
