SO I am playing in a tourney. 180 players total down to the final three tables. Tourney paid top 20 places. I am sitting one seat behind the button with seven players on the table. Blind are 200/400 I have just over 21,000 in chips. First two seats fold. Third seat raise to 1500. I am holding K Q suited (hearts). I call. Small and big Blind Call. Flop come Ah 5h Qc. Small blind bets 4500, big blind folds and the original raiser pushes all-in (he had more chips then I did, and the small blind has less then I did.) Now where would you go from here. You have a medium pair and the nut flush draw. Basicly I put the small blind on A J and the original raiser on a big overpair just as aces, AK, or AQ. So I laid it down. I would just like to hear what everyones opinion about that play.

good laydown, but i don't think u had any business being in there w/ a dominated hand such as KQ even if was suited....

i'd rather have 72o or play my hand blind, than CALL with KQs

Hey lork,
Did you get to see if you would have won or not?

You ABSOLUTELY made the correct play. You only had 1500 in there you didn't really have much of a hand as promising as it was. You weren't even in the money yet.

If there were say, exactly 20 player left, MAYBE i'd call since ususally spots 10-20 pay about the same amount. A BIG maybe btw.

Just my .02. Would you have won anyway? What did the SB have?

This is how the hand turned out. No Joking. The sm blind called the all-in with Jh 9h. Also bascily drawing for the flush. The original raiser turns over pocket 10's. At this point I was sick. The turn comes a 9s and the river comes a Jd. So I would have ended up losing the hand but I would have been ahead on the flop.
