I was at the final table with 66,000. the chip leader had 77,000. first place wins the $13,500 package. I was in the big blind with Tc 2c. The big blind was 3,000. Normally, I wouldn't call a raise here. However, the cutoff made the mininum raise and the small blind called. Assuming the first limper would call and not reraise, there would be 24,000 in the pot. So I felt it was worth 3,000 more chips to try and hit a big hand. Well, I hit my big hand alright. I flopped a flush. The problem was that so did 2 other players. I don't think I've ever seen 3 players flop a flush in the same hand before. Obviously, this was terrible luck. The question is, should I have been involved in this hand in the first place?
