This is from a live MTT that I play in once a week. We start with $16 000 and the blinds begin at 100/200 and increase by hundreds until 1000/2000 when they go by 500's every 10 minutes.
The blinds for this hand are 600/1200 and I have about 14 000 in chips at a 7 player table. I'm in the cutoff. Sorry I don't have teh other stack sizes but in this situation I don't think it matters much.
All players have limped to me and I have A8 hearts so I limp too....almost always do with suited A. the dealer and SB limp as well and the BB raises 2000. The three players in front of me call making the pot size 16 400 when it gets to me. I figure my hand is not the best but the odds of 8 to 1 justify a call. The dealer also calls and the SB folds. (Pot size now is at 20 400)
The flop comes 5h 7h 2s. The BB pushes all in (10 400), UTG folds, there is a call and a fold and then it is to me. (Pot size 37 200) With the nut flush draw I know I have to hit and I think about it for a a while then call. The dealer calls as well.
The turn is Jc and the river Jd. No bets are made on either the turn or river. The BB turns over KQh, the other caller turns over 85os and the dealer 86 os. The 85os won the massive pot. I was left with 2100 chips. Granted I did make a huge comeback and finish 2nd overall but still was that a legit play or did I get my odds all screwed up and gamble for basically all of my stack too early.
