MP1 (t1340)
MP2 (t895)
CO (t1690)
Button (t1760)
SB (t1390)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t30, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, MP2 calls t90, SB calls t90.

Flop: (t360) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t30</font>, Hero calls t30, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t200</font>, SB folds, MP2 folds.

Final Pot: t620

Edit: Converter missed a step... After MP2's raise on the flop, SB folds and I reraise all in.

I would have played it the same as you. I would have raised pre-flop which might thin one of the limpers.

I would have called the flop bet of t30 because of the 13 to 1 pot odds I would be getting.

I would have folded after he bet t200 because now I am only getting about 3.1 to 1 pot odds. Hitting an A or a K is about 7 to 1 and that probably isn't good enough to win this hand (the back door flush is a bit of a long shot).

Fold and live to fight another day.

Preflop is good (I would have maybe raised to 6 BB because of the limpers.) I would fold. If you were isolated against a smaller stack (maybe t 300 or so) I would play, but you have a big stack, and youre going up against a big stack. With t30 blinds, theres no reason to gamble that much by calling. Even if he has a completely random hand, like a one card str8 or a flush draw, you arent missing much by calling. Reraising everything is bad in my mind, because if he doesnt have it, hes going to fold and ur only going to win 600 or so chips, but if he does have it, ur going to lose your entire stack. They seem to be about equal possibilities here. Let the guy have the pot, and you'll both prolly see each other later when the the 3 or 4 hundred in the pot is about a big blind.
