This is the 3rd or 4th hand of the tourney, so I have no reads at all. We have already lost one player. How would you play this hand?

If he's doing that because he already has the flush, you are down two outs.

If he's doing it because he has a straight draw and a flush draw, you are behind.

If he's doing it because he has a pair, it is pretty much a coin flip.

If he's doing it with absolutely nothing, he still has outs.

I think this is a situation where in the third or fourth level it might be a call, but here it is a fold. That's partly because with one player (and possibly more since this is often contagious) that plays like this you have a decent chance at being in a similar situation with a good made hand.

However, I think it is close because a plurality of the time he will just have a pair and be trying to protect against the flush, or a Kc and drawing himself.

Smells like TT-QQ w/a club. KK would have probably re-raised your small raise, plus you already have the other K which cuts it down.

easy fold...not worth it...so what if you double up, that doesn't gaurantee any money.

fold with plenty of chips and forget this hand ever happened.
