Hey all,

I'm currently in the 30+3 tourney on party that started at 6:15. I had this hand happen. I've only done these tourneys a couple times, and this seems like an easy fold to me post flop but I just wanted to make sure. I know I shouldn't have called in the first place, but there had often been a lot of callers preflop (and not too much raising) so I was hoping to hit a flush draw.

Also, how many BB's do you like having once you're ITM?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1000 (10 handed) converter

Button (t745)
SB (t9624)
BB (t16034)
Hero (t12738)
UTG+1 (t9602)
UTG+2 (t3568)
MP1 (t5482)
MP2 (t17840)
MP3 (t2454)
CO (t11184)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero calls t1000, UTG+1 raises to t2000, 4 folds, CO calls t2000, Button calls t745 (All-In), 1 fold, BB calls t1000, Hero calls t1000.

Flop: (t9245) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players, 1 all-in)
BB bets t2500, Hero folds, UTG+1 raises to t7602 (All-In), CO folds, BB calls t5102.

Turn: (t24449) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t24449) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t24449

Results in white below: 
BB has Ac 5c (one pair, aces).
UTG+1 has Qc Qh (three of a kind, queens).
Button has Ks Kd (one pair, kings).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins t24449.

Yeah, easy fold. I might think about it if I'm heads up with the raiser and I have reason to believe he's stealing, but with a weak hand, a raiser betting into two players, and a decent stack behind you still to act, I doubt you'll be good often enough to make this call. It would have worked out this time, but I wouldn't count on this being the norm.

Set of Queens took it down, so I would have lost.

How many BBs do you like having on the bubble. I mean, how much do you need to feel comfortable?

All of them.

If you're on the bubble, I think it just depends on where you stand in the tournament. A lot of tournaments have blinds that put most everyone under 10-15xBB in the later stages. I feel pretty comfortable with 20xBB.
