Hi,
this is a hand from a 50+5 tourney I'm currently playing at partypoker.
I was wondering what the right move is after the flop.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t1175)
MP3 (t670)
CO (t1540)
Hero (t725)
SB (t810)
BB (t215)
UTG (t695)
UTG+1 (t2595)
MP1 (t1790)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t30, 5 folds, Hero calls t30, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t120) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB bets t185 (All-In), UTG folds, Hero calls t185, SB raises to t780 (All-In), Hero ????

What should hero do in this situation? Fold and continue playing with about 500 chips, or call and eventually end with about 1600 chips, or go broke.
What do you think?

I would call this in a heartbeat. Your stack is already short and this is a powerful draw for a substantial pot.

I agree. I can't remember the time i folded a Flush Draw AND a straight draw, let along a Flush Draw, a Straight Draw AND a Straight Flush draw [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Ur one crazy mamajama if u folded [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yea you definitely have to call in this situation. You already have put chips in the pot and the risk/reward ratio is in your favor. Also you are at better than 50% to hit your open ended straight or flush and there is still the possibility of hitting the straight flush. Bottom line: You gotta call.

The push would "feel" better if you had two over's...BUT...I'd also call the push here. I hit my only royal flush in a situation just like that. It was a cash game tho...

kid with two pair pushed on the flop...
myself, and one other guy (with trip's) called...

both bitched about my play.

Insta-call with your 15 outs and see if you beat his AQ. this stage of the tourney you need the chips more than scraping by.
