Maybe 6 minutes in.... I'll stop after the flop is shown to see what everyone thinks.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1140)
MP3 (t1150)
CO (t1450)
Button (t1540)
SB (t1740)
BB (t1460)
Hero (t1780)
UTG+1 (t1720)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises to t80, 2 folds, MP2 calls t80, MP3 calls t80, CO calls t80, Button calls t80, 2 folds.

Flop: (t430) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)

Push, if youre lucky maybe a flush draw will call, else take the pot.

I think that is well within the range of moves to make now that you are in this spot. It would have been nicer if the pot was a bit smaller, especially given your position though (maybe something to think about).

Not getting involved at all or betting anything less than 1/2 the pot is just too weak, but the person making that comment about not getting involved is at least correct that you don't want to get *overinvolved* in this pot at this point of the tournament (which is why I don't like the pot bet either and would prefer to not be in this situation right now with a pot this big in the first place).

I really hate that idea. Seems like a push is the classic win a little/lose a lot move.

i hate counting on being called by complete donks. i usually assume that my opponents are halfway decent until proven otherwise and any decent player who calls here likely has you beat.

I agree. It is possible, maybe even likely considering the stakes, that I'll get called by someone with junk. But realize, there are 4 of them and any one could easily wake up with a hand.
