That can be a tricky one.

Two options

1) raise as you did and take the safe route

2) call and hope for action on the turn


Option 1) gives you a small pot most of the time and only occassionally builds a bigger one.

Option 2) doesn't give the game away about your hand but gives the other guys the potential to improve and beat you (the flush being the most worrying). There is however a lot more likelihood of getting more action on the turn and building bigger pot.


It's a question of what you are trying to achieve and at various points in a tourney and with different size stacks I'd play it both ways. Early on like this situation when doubling up can be a huge advantage, I'd call the flop bets and take a small chance in order to potentially win a large pot.
