you are on the bubble of a big tournament, with about a 1.5x average stack. you are at a very aggressive table, and are playing TAG. you get A4s in LP and limp in with 4 limpers before you. you flop the nut flush, 3710s. EP bets out 3/4 pot, 2 more callers, and you just call. turn brings another 3. EP bets the pot, 2nd position raises all in, next limper goes all in.

Call...your only a dog to 1010. Since there is no chance for a straight flush then you have to figure one villian hit on the 3s. One villain has 2 pair and I highly doubt 1010 would limp into a pot.

What about 77, 33, 73, T3? It all depends on chip stacks, prize money payouts, how far from the money really. What buy-in, etc.
Huskie some of your questions you could make a good decision without this stuff, I do think the answer to this changes drastically with payouts....

Eckk...thanks Phil. I forgot 77 or 33. Both of these hands would be ideal to limp in with. I still don't think I could lay down the nut flush here though.
The thing here is I know I wouldn't be in this situation. For one when I have my nut flush which was flooped to me, then I am pushing and praying for a caller. Most of these other hands would lay it down in a second. The only one to worry about would be 1010 and I wouldn't see that hand limping into a pot.

You don't put yourself in this situation. Put the money in on the flop and run.

haha, with 4 limpers i would probably raise  . but in this exact situation, id prolly make a crying call.

Depends on the payouts for me. If it didn't mean too much to cash then I would just go for it unless the players are quite tight. The action alarms me quite a bit and if the money meant anything to me I would fold.
it all really depends on payouts and the players for me.

sizes of the stacks and the blinds are important. Also, buyin of the MTT . you need to know if you're dealing with fish or not.
Now think what do the other players have?
EP might have a PP one of them probably a Spade .
Second player probably made his flush with 89s
and the third guy? Set on the flop and a boat on the turn?
Its a hard call and really depended how I feel on the moment - though usually I ignore these feeling and lose
Slow playing the nut flush is something I like to do as well, especially with a board that look like that. But with 3 other players? I hope I will raise the flop if this happen to me:)
