Situation - MTT NLHE, 3100 players, blinds $25/$50, I had Ah Kh in small blind. Five limped in front of me & bb still to go. I rsd to $300 - leaving me with $2850 - bb and one folded, 4 called, so 5 to see the flop. Pot now stands at $1600. Flop of 4 10 Q rainbow with one heart. From here I've got a dilemma. I've got a gotshot straight draw, a double-run flush draw, and two overcards, so I'd like to see another, but if I bet out and get raised I'm tossing a big portion of my stack at a draw. So I checked, it checked around to the button, and he bet $950. I folded as did 3 others, but one called and of course the J was flipped. A 4 color rainbow board of 4 10 Q J. The caller checked, the button pushed ai (button began play with a larger chip stack than mine), and the caller folded and the button took down a $3500 pot. Had I stayed and the J still played (you never know if the board plays the same on-line), I would most likely taken down a $9K+ pot. Should I have committed 1/3 of my stack in that situation on what was most likely a draw?
