I'm small-blind and I've got
5 players call to see the flop...
I bet $100. 2nd base moves all-in (around $900). Everyone else folds, except the button who ALSO goes all-in (around $1150).
I've got around $880... so it's all-in or fold.

someone may just have KQ there making your Flush draw toast...fooooold.
There are much better spots to attack over risking your money on a possible dead draw. IMO

Yeah... umm fold... someone could have a full already, and you would be drawing REALLY slim, or you could be out. It's not worth it. Pick a better time.

Pretty easy laydown IMO, especially early and especially with this board.
KQ could easily be out, in which case you're drawing dead. Best case scenario you're up against trip queens, and that still leaves you dodging almost as many outs to their full house as it gives you outs to hit your flush.
Better times, better places than this.:cool:

Even though you have the odd, I think, there is too much chances that you are already beaten, or you have less out with the Kc.

Not dead, but drawing to the perfect-perfect royal flush.

True...so you're not drawing dead, you're just clinging to life support in a major way. Not exactly the odds I'd be banking my tournament one Originally Posted by bboy

At that point, you have no choice but to fold. You only have a 30%+ chance of doubling up and that will still not guarantee you a finish in the money. Way too early in the game to make a move like that. Originally Posted by CleverMonkey

I would fold that hand in a heartbeat. I never go all in on a flush draw on a paired board. I wouldn't even consider CALLING all-in when two other people are already all-in with one. Save your chips for a better opportunity.
