Final Pot: txxxx

No reads. Tournament just started. I didn't realize UTG+1 raised until after I raised. Anyways, I don't think betting 2-3x BB more would've knocked them off nor did I want to knock them off. What do you put these players on?

SB on a drawing hand (2 spades), BB on a set (3 Tens).

Hard to fold this one.

I would most likely play it just as you did.

Assuming this is a $22 or less tourney, I would put SB on the flush draw and I would put BB on a pair of tens with a good kicker or an over pair. At the lower limits I see people go all in quite often with nothing but a medium pair and a good kicker. If it were a $50+ tourney I'd be worried that BB had a set.

Your opponents have JJ-AA, AT, or a flush draw way too often to consider folding here. Even if the SB folds behind you, you're still getting around 3:1 on your call. Short of the BB showing me TT, I can't possibly see folding here. I'd make this call at the $50's everytime. It's not even close. I'd typically just go ahead and push on the flop here.

Only my opinion,

I called. BB showed TT for the flopped set. SB also flopped a set of 3s. I agree though, I'm still calling here.

i have seen so many wacky plays that i cant imagine folding here on the flop. but since you posted it i assume someone had a set. one thing tho is that if i acted last and SB had already called then i might give it some thought.
