    Hard to gauge without knowing how the guy who shoved before you was playing..? I note he made the pre-flop raise, but hen he did have bullets...

    Bearing in mind the odds on connecting with a four card flush with 2 cards to come is about 40%, it's a hard one. it's one of those situations where you know it's do or die.

    that said, you had a b/d straight draw  and an overcard as well. I think I may well have called, but it's a judgement call.
    You go into it knowing that you're behind & that 60% of the time you're going out, but if you hit, you're gonna have approx 50BB  ( or more if the player after you calls as well) which is some real breathing room late in a tourney.

    re raise or fold pre for me.

    Got to admit dont love flop action way it plays.  Rather see you get it in with FE, but you hit here you put yourself in position to go real deep.  Depends what mood I'm in and what advantage I feel I may have over table/field

    Pre is a fold for me but flop if your going for win get it in !!

    As already stated ATs pre flop fold or raise is a matter of choice. However post flop, yes you have the nut flush draw and one player (who has you covered) bets out staking a claim another player raises all in for half your stack, you've reraised presumably hoping the initial raiser was lying and you are only risking half your stack?

    My point is, maths aside, 2 players have shown a big interest in this pot and you are most likely to be behind to one if not both.
