Default Early game flopped set - $11 Party SNG.

This was the 5th hand of the tourney.

I'm not sure how to play this hand. The flop is crazy coordinated and I have 7 opponents. Any merit to calling the flop raise instead of pushing? I'm just really confused on this hand trying to balance the "sets are good" and "it's too early to put your stack in" lines of thought.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

SB (t740)
BB (t940)
UTG (t635)
UTG+1 (t800)
UTG+2 (t670)
MP1 (t990)
Hero (t760)
MP3 (t925)
CO (t795)
Button (t745)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t15</font>, UTG folds, UTG+2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t100</font>, Hero calls [t760] , CO calls [t795] , Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, MP1 folds.

The lack of responses tells me that this is a pretty boring hand. That said, I still don't know what the right play is. The number of opponents really made this a difficult decision for me.

The converter thing is kind of confusing. I'd call sometimes other times I'd push...7 opponents only adds to the confusion.

Did you call or push? The hand history shows you calling but I don't see the player that put you all in.

Default c\'mon guys...

OK. Either I'm a tard for pushing or a tard for worrying about pushing. Being that I'm a tard, I don't know which reason makes me a tard. Please help me identify my tard-dom so that next time I can make a different tardy mistake.

I think a push is OK on an $11 table, you'll probably get a loose caller w/ the A. Even if you're up against a made flush you have outs. I'm ok w/ your play.

On a higher table ($33-$55) I'd probably call the 100. If I get a big re-raise behind I may let this go.
