$15 turbo on stars, big stack play

[augie00]

Was this too loose of a call, even for being the big stack in this sng? I figured at worst i was even money unless he had a better flush draw, so I figured I'd gambol it up.

Other than calling preflop, I play the hand the same way.

Edit: There is a case for not reraising and just calling along because of putting your stack at risk, but I don't think it's bad.

I agree.

I don't like the MP call here, but the flop was about as good as you could ask for. You've got - by my count - four outs to your inside straight, nine to your flush, plus the middle pair.

There's a chance he's already got some of your outs covered, but there's also a chance you're already ahead.

If I had to guess, I'd say he has two pair. I'd call here too.
