With nearly half my stack involved I am not sure I could fold now. If your flush is good your odds are good, if you are up against a boat you might have as few as 1 out.

Calling the reraise on the flop to me means I'm likely going all the way with the hand with that much invested. That is a nasty turn card, but one that means you are likely drawing to the best hand if you don't have it already.

I have no clue why you would fold the turn if you've invested that much already and are getting such great odds. Why call the raise on the flop if you fold to that turn... granted, it's ugly, but by calling the flop, you're pot committed.

If there's any time to get away from this hand, it's on the flop, because whether you're aware of it or not, that min-raise on the flop forced you to a decision for ALL your chips, not just 425.

I think you make your decision on the flop. I know for me, I would have re-raised all in. If he is going to beat me on a draw, than he needs to pay for it.

Tournament: You are too committed on this to fold

Cash: I most likely bail.
