  This is 5pound B/h.  When small stack pushes here should i be just calling in view of the flush draw on board?

  Cash table no probs but should i be less aggro at this stage of an MTT?

You're a 56% favourite on flop, snap call.

re-raise more, but played fine. basically if u put them on a flush get as much in as possible giving them worse odds possible

  TY Dude but i think you have misread HH. I reraised allin when shortstack jammed. My Q was is this too aggro in MTT BH due to flush draw on board and villain behind me with decent stack.

Are you asking.....if it would be a better alternative to just call, then if the flush completes on the turn or river, you can get away from the hand without going bust?

As dohhhh said im curious to asking if you worried about going bust because the flush gets there.

Really when im in a tournament going bust doesnt effect my mind set till i have 8-15BB. even then im focusing soley on doubling up. I want calls from flush draws here because their only hitting it 30% of the time, therefore meaning 70% of that time im trebling up taking two heads as its a bh and im laughing.

The thing about tournaments is having a bigger stack makes life easier. Easier your life is the better chance you have of winning. The more chance of winning the more money your likley to make.

  Thats exactly what i am asking. I know its a negative attitude to take but lately i have been outdrawn so many times when i have pushed in this situation that i am now thinking it may be better to survive and wait for a better spot.
  Having looked at the hand again my mistake was, as YG said, not reraising enough on flop.

BigBluster

With 2 pair you have the redraw too. Only 4 outs for the boat, but add 2 outs for your own backdoor flush draw = 6 outs. The villain has 8 outs, so in effect 2 outs if you see what I mean.

With AhKh it's easy to get away from and you probably should. But with your hand, it's all going in.
