Hero ?

Why not push after the SB leads for 100? There is 400 in the pot and you only have 745 in your stack. I don't think this is a good spot to slow play bottom 2, esp against 2 opponents and a flush draw on the board.

I won a hand in similar situation. Fairly early in the tourney, got a cheap BB flop and hit bottom two pair. Long story short, got two callers all-in, one with flush draw one with straight draw and took them both out.

Personally, I think it's worth the risk to double/triple up against draws early in the tourney.

Given that your stack is on life support, can you really fold 2 pair on a draw-happy board like this?

[HeroInBlack]

You're way too short to be choosy. I say go with it. You could be drawing dead, but more likely you have at least 4 outs, and there's a decent chance you have the best hand already.

impossible to be drawing dead at this street, but point taken (nearly drawing dead)

vs QQ who has a higher set. = drawing dead... or runner runner 4 or runner runner 9 .... almost drawing dead.

EZ call, I would have re-raised to 400 with a plan to go all-in on the turn.

Why not push, because you want action (I would want action)

wrong. you are discounting the fact that hero can hit quads. this is not drawing dead.

I'm not sure I know what either of you are talking about...look at how the hand went - a preflop limp with pocket Q's?

What's the point of betting 400? to leave yourself with nothing?

OP: Shove it in.

This is admittedly a tough hand to play on level one when you have plenty of chips. It's an easy all-in here though.
