Set when the turn brings a scarecard (Stars 16 Turbo)
 
Knowing how much donks love chasing flushdraws I really hated this turn. Do I still push?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

Button (t1500)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t20, Hero calls t20, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t80) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t60</font>, BB calls t60, UTG calls t60, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t300</font>, SB calls t240, BB calls t240, UTG folds.

Turn: (t1040) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t60</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero?

I'd call here, hope SB doesn't get any more fancy, and pray for the board to pair.

If it doesn't, see what happens on the river.

as long as SB doesn't be an idiot and push over the top you're getting great odds to draw here...and I think you need to draw too.

These 16ers play like retards though so you never know. What in the hell does the SB have??? Jesus these min donk bets drive me out of my mind.

I pushed and everyone folded, was very happy with my play at the time. Then it appeared to me that this was probably a donk play by me, as I will only be called by the flush. No better hand will fold except a horrible played TT. And flat calling might get some more money in the pot on the river.

While I think your anlaysis is pretty good, there is one flaw in your assumption. I think a hand like A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] will also call here.

I'm not conceding that your pushing here is good. Just pointing out the little less obvious.
