a friend played this. 22, i think.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter

SB (t720)
Hero (t770)
UTG (t1240)
UTG+1 (t530)
MP1 (t1240)
MP2 (t690)
CO (t760)
Button (t2050)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP2 calls t30, CO calls t30, Button calls t30, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t150) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB bets t50, Hero ?

IMO you have two options, make it 150 and shut down UI or just fold now. I don't like what your stack would be if you have to fold after making it 150 so I just fold.

The texture of this flop means that if you do make it 150 (which would be my raise), and get called, there are about a jillion scare cards (A, K, 6, 7, any heart) that can come on the turn, and put your stack in a pretty bad situation.

I probably fold here and call myself weak-tight and go get a beer so that I raise next time. These situations are very interesting, but very difficult.
