call 5000 to win 6400. so you need to win 12.5/28 times or so, right?

you have 9 flush outs, and 2 J (of he has no QQ) and 3 A if he isn't holding AQ.

I'd call it and hope for the best.

I stink at this game though.

I put him on KT. I suck at this, but it's a $1 tourney so he probably does too.

HE could have anything, and a push like that either means a really strong hand or a really strong draw....leaning toward the latter IMHO.

If you are up against a straight or set, I do not think you have the odds here (didn't check), but otherwise you are probably the favorite, and coinflip at worst.

Its early, you can fold and still have 25 BBs, but if you are looking for a spot to accumulate (and at this point in the MTT, thats not so bad), I say go for it.

In other words, I don't think folding is wrong. I don't think calling is wrong.

Fold. If he flipped over his cards, and showed me Q3, still fold.
People in these multis are dying to give you their chips as a 70/30 dog, why put your hard earned stack at risk for so much less?

I call this most of the time. He usually has a Ten. I recently had similar hand and the opponent had TT. I called and he hit the straight.
