Too nitty? I have an above average stack. Would have been chip leader if I hit. Didn't fancy throwing away 3 hours of play drawing to a flush. Thoughts??

Great fold. In a cash game you would've snapped him off. Also, if first to act you'd have been quite happy to move in yourself. But in a MTT in the situation described this is a fold. Very well played.

In the cold light of day, it is undoubtedly the correct play. In the heat of battle I'm not sure I could have done it.....

This is a simple fold if we are, as you say, on the bubble and an above average stack. Cash and standard MTT, we probs snap off. Not here though.

TBH you could probably just open fold this. Just no need to play the hand. You say you would've been chip leader, but in a flat payout structure things like that go out the window. Survival instincts should kick in when playing a sat...

We're not playing a sat?

Don't get this.

Easy fold, while our equity is good, some of our strength is in FE cos atm we have A high and we have no idea if any of our overs are live. We have 40+ BB and have only committed 3BB so far. Definite fold.

Also it might not even be a snap in cash, if we have reads our overs are likely no good cos this is what he does with 2pr/sets then its a fold
