BB bets 200. Hero?

That's pot-sized, there are people behind you, overcard on the board, you're at a $55, there's a flush draw. I think folding is good here.

[GoldenHorde]

You're behind

Its possible some of your outs aren't even good

Villain looks to be attached

There are people behind you

You aren't getting anything close to the right odds for a call

All signs point to fold.

[microbet]

Reverse implied odds or something like that. (I don't have enough book learnin yet.) Fold.

I pushed and lost. I'm playing like crap lately and I don't know why. Terrible pushes, calls and whatnot over the last few days. Hopefully i'll get through it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Another idiotic play that I'm posting to be humiliated for.

UTG pushes. Folded to hero who raises all in.

Sounds like you need a break or maybe next tourney every time you are about to do something stop and think about it for another 5-10 seconds it may sound silly but it should stop you from doing things like that.

[kyro]

That's the thing. I was playing about 20 tourneys a day back when I was in school. Nowadays, I'm lucky if I get 4 in. I'm not playing much...just sucky.

[embersonfire]

Sometimes thats the problem. If you don't play regularly, your just too eager to play pots and win pots... At least that is my experience.

[lastchance]

How is this idiotic with a hand as good as King high?! You're in the SB, BB's got about 5x BB, which is enough for him to fold, and enough for you to like pushing. Blinds are high, very high in fact. I steal here to the tune of 100% of the time.
