This situation seems to come up all the time. The pot is pretty big on the turn, you think you have the best hand, you think your opponent could be on a flush draw. How big does pot need to be relative to you stack before you push? Am I missing a lot of value on theses hands by over-betting? This is $11's, so opponents may call anyway, but what about at higher levels?
I guess since this is a tournament, my thinking is that you don't want your opponents to draw out on you, even given incorrect odds, but maybe I'm taking this idea too far. Thanks for any advice!
