rule 1 of tourney poker... don't call off all your chips on a draw?

gutshot straight and flush draw looks pretty good, but you still had lots of fold equity here.

out in 6th. Had a great chance to double up and took it. Flush draw and inside straight. Didn't hit, $356 pay day. Thanks for the support guys.

I don't blame you for going all in though given the payout skew, but I'd rather take a stance elsewhere.

Pot was t60k, and you'll have to call 165k to win. Edit: you do have the pot odds to call, but I still don't like it, especially with another guy behind you who has yet to act.

The folding equity's key. People were folding to your pf raises, and each time you steal the blinds you add ~20% to your stack.

As it happens you were about even money. But how about against a better flush draw? (with or without a pair)

The flush draw was my first guess as to the SB's hand, with his actual holding being second. Even if we add 6x into his range of possibilities, you're significantly behind on average.

Try to get your chips in as the aggressor if you're going to get them in with a weakish hand like your 74 here. (Speaking of which, a preflop push here would've been a little aggro but not entirely out of the question.)

I definitely feel like I made the wrong decision here. My biggest mistake was acting too quickly, I think if I would have though about it for another 10-20 seconds I would have layed it down. It was my first time making it that far and I really learned a lot from it. I will never forget this mistake so I feel fortunate that I came away with a great lesson. I was also lucky that it was not for truly life changing money. I really appreciate you guys take on the situation and after I looked at all the variables it is an easy fold due to the table and my stack.

Thanks again, Jason
