All in ASAP-no check raise, nothing fancy, just all in.

All-in.


My strategy for MTTs is not stay alive and advance in the money, it is to WIN. You've got a great drawing hand, one guy doubled in chips (who likely has overcards or high pair) what more could you want? It may just be me, but if I flop an open-ended straight flush draw, with a pair, I'm getting all my money in anyway possible.

I concur with my colleagues. You have so many outs there that it's impossible to want to slowplay and get sucked out. You have the best draw (possibly the best hand atm as well), so if anyone wants to draw against you, make it damn expensive.

Yep, that is what I did. AK called and the turn brought the A :club. I was just wondering if anyone would have played it different. Well, I'm sure there has to be.

some stats on this hand. . . .interesting to see that against a set, the redraws are plenty full but the hand is the biggest underdog.

I think i'd check-raise all-in here. The odds are overwhelmingly in your favor vs. an overpair, and even AK will likely make a continuation bet, so I'd try to get some more chips in the pot before I threw down my stack.

I agree with the others. I would be going all in. Did I read correctly that you caught the flush on the river?
