Hero's getting over 3:1 on a nut flush draw with 2 cards to come, plus someone's probably going broke here. Not a too tough call.

Wow, I'm too tired. That didn't register. Yeah, Push preflop, unless SB and BB suck, which they probably do.

hopefully you see how silly that raise of 800 was from this...that being the case, i call in a heartbeat as you are getting over 4:1 on a nut flush draw that will come in over 1/3 of the time. furthermore when you do lose this pot, you will be in the money most of the time.

I was multi-tabling, and didn't note the size of the stacks in the blinds. I'm used to playing $50s, so I'm used to bigger stacks 4 handed.

Open push to start, but call once in this position.

Pot odds are meaningless here. This is a simple case where ICM is applicable.

You have a 35% chance of catching your flush. Assuming it will winn 100% of the time you catch it, and assuming you have a 50% chance to get third place when you fail, calling gives you a mere 23% of the prize pool, while folding gives you 32.7%
