$3r/a Sat to 500k, just started level 9, barely 2 hours into the game. I'm, below average by a few thousand. Just recently moved to the table so no real reads, big stacks were limping a lot of hands, nothing unusual. Here goes:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (9 handed)

Hero???
Ok, I've flopped the 2nd nuts AND the sb has led out, making a pot sized bet. He's got 3 players to act behind him and 2 have him covered and've been active. He's obviously looking to price out the flush draws, and I'm
sure with 4 of us in, 1 of the 'em could very well be on it.
Now unless he's leading out on the flush draw himself, I have to put him on 2 pair or the set. NONE of which really matters much, 'cause I'm playing these nuts [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
There's T5k in the middle after the sb leads out, the ONLY question is how much to bet.
A "normal" raise would leave a little better than 2-1 odds (calling 5k on a 12k pot) on the call, and if either of the big stacks come along, the sb'll be more than priced in...not to mention it'd leave about 1/2 my stack behind.
So, make a raise to ~7500 or is this a push?
Thanks in advance!
