Hey guys, I have a dilema. Yesterday I played one tournament - 54 players, prizepool 2500€. The structure was strange, because prize was 250€ for first 10 players. Maybe first 5 hands of tournament were shitty, i folded all, but next hand I was dealt As Js on UTG. Guy on hijack raised preflop about 4BB, I called and button called also. The flop came 8s 9s Th. At this moment I had openended straightdraw and also a flushdraw, plenty of outs. Hijack bets 1000 (about 80% of pot). I raised him to 3500. After a while, button pushed all in and hijack also pushed (our stacks were almost the same, preflop about 10 000). Now it was my decision. If one of them has QJ, the nutstraight, I still have about 35% for nutflush and pot odds 1:4,5, as the rest of my stack was about 6000 and pot was already about 26000. I decided to call, they showed both 67 straight. Turn and river didnt bring any queen, seven or spade, so I was out of the tournament.
Now the question: Altought in cash game, the decision would be clear call with these pot odds, I´m not sure if it´s good to play this way in tournament. Because even I have great chance to win a mega pot, there´s still bigger chance to be kicked out of tournament as the board don´t bring one of my outs. What should I do?
