Default Hitting top set on three flush flop

I cant find my hand history so you will have to bear with me....

4 players in pot early on in a 1 table tourney...

blinds 15/30
Relevant stacks
Villain(mp2) 800 chips
Hero(button) 800 chips

Hero dealt 88

All Fold to Villain who limps, folded over to hero who bets 90, both blinds call and villain calls

Flop 8c7c6c (Pot 360)

All check to hero who bets 200, blinds fold, villain reraises all in...


Hero????

This is one scary ass flop for top set, whats your line?

t360 in the pot on the flop, with you having 710 behind? Push. Call the all-in now, though.

Oh and next time please do not raise with 88 there, it's rather silly.

Call the push. Your bet is fine. I also think the PF raise is fine, though I limp here often as well.

half the time i limp and half the time i raise with 88, i only did it b/c there was only one caller before me and i would have position after flop and wanted the blinds out of the hand. With more callers i would certainly merely limp.

Results: I called the all in he flipped over AxAc and rivered a flush grrr.

That's kind of a cool thing about NLHE tournies. If you get all your money in as a favorite, and he sucks out, you probably played it well. If he sucks out on you and then you get all your money in, you probably didn't play it so well.

Your villain here played his aces attrociously.

Yeah, had to be a 4-flush or made flush w/low cards. Given a read on villain as a tightie, you could narrow it down to 4-flush.

Yeah i was thinking if the flush or str8 was flopped he probably would have played it a bit slower.

Unless he had 89 or something and was scared of a higher flush. Although given the pot odds, seems like you'd still have to call there with say only Ac. But a lot of people don't think like that. And a lot of people would still fold for their tourney life, with a flush draw and 1-2 overs, even though the pot-odds say call.
