Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
Button (t730)
Hero (t1755)
BB (t630)
UTG (t125)
MP1 (t1840)
MP2 (t2395)
CO (t525)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t60</font>, MP2 calls t60, CO calls t60, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t45, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.
Flop: (t270) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, CO is all-in [465], Hero folds.
No great reads on CO, he was involved in an earlier pot and folded to a turn checkraise.
Couple of questions:
A Anyone bump this preflop out of the blinds? My standard move against limpers or a minraise is not to raise since I don't want to fold out weak aces, plus you'll be dealing with a bloated pot OOP with 2-3 players. On the flip side, if this pot were bigger pushing the flop becomes an option.
B Now on to the flop - here's where I'm really confused since you have a mix of deep stacks and short stacks involved. Plan was to c/r all-in, which was thwarted when the minraiser checks, and the shortstacked CO shoves his chips in. Bleah, now my monster draw loses all FE. I decided not to flip against KJ or whatever he had here even if I'm a 53/47 favorite (I assume that's standard since this isn't a cash game).
Is there a better line here? Since I didn't raise PF, leading out 1/2-2/3 pot here probably won't get much respect and leaves me in a difficult spot OOP on the turn if one of the deep stacks called. On the other hand I would have manufactured the odds necessary to call a CO push, although I don't know that before the fact.
Any help appreciated.
