t1100 just sitting there...tempting...not sure what i'd do. I'm always on the fence in these situations in the early levels of the donktastic low-limit SNGs.

well not really just sitting there. I fully expect to be called by at least one if not both

i don't particularly like to flip here against one villain, but bu's got the right idea...

there's a bunch of dead money in there, and your dream scenario is to get called twice (hopefully with your flush draw still good).

I want to be called by both. I ran some numbers but thought this could be an interesting discussion.

I like your play. Maybe in a tourney with long levels and huge stacks I dont chase this but in smaller tournaments a straight flush draw is usually too big to pass up.

the problem is that with all of the limpers you can be in there against bigger flush draws as well as straight draws that have blockers.

I don't think there is anyting wrong with your play, and I would very likely do the same, but I don't think your equity is quite as good as we like to think. I would say its almost defintely +EV though, and getting it in here can't be bad.

Yeah, but you can't clean those outs up with less than an all-in. There's really no other way to play it.
