$55: Make the Big Call? TPTK

[downtown]

Here's my read:

I am sitting in my poker chair, I cleverly plan to c/r, and suddenly I say out loud, "What the [censored]?"

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx (http://www.zerodivide.cx/converter)

MP (t1005)
Button (t2035)
Hero (t2560)
BB (t1800)
UTG (t2600)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t175, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls t150.

Flop: (t650) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t2400 (All-In)</font>, MP calls t805 (All-In),

Hero???

Edit to add: Ok ok, I also knew UTG was way LAG and bad.

With your read on UTG I'm calling this easilly. I think you got him crushed, don't know about MP though..

In my original post I didn't take into account the fact that MP can't even come close to busting you. So, with that &amp; your read on UTG, I think I call. I don't think you're in good shape against MP, but you figure to be well ahead of UTG. And it'd be fairly close anyway even if you somehow were gonna lose all your chips by losing to MP1.

You almost certainly are beating UTG, even if MP wins the main pot i'd call just for the side pot.
