    You know...I'm not sure how much time you thought about this, but I would have had to think really hard (freeroll or money). Without knowing what they had, you had...as I count it it

    4 outs to the OESD (2 complete your flush and 2 complete the diamond flush...You don't know that you would win if one of those hits so we can't count those).

    9 outs to the FD

    For 13 outs, you're getting a chance to triple up...It's actually 15 outs if you can be reasonably sure neither of them are on the diamond flush...Pot odds are super close, but a little low, but the position you would have gained, this early in the tournament is what makes this such a close call...

    I think I'm folding this. I would rather wait till I have a made hand before I push. If it wasn't an All-In I was calling, then I'm probably calling...by calling, you are removing your options and your chances for better hands later in the tournament. I would have to seriously think about this before I hit the fold button though...tough decision.

    Having said that, I have been accused (rightly so) of playing scared in tournaments, and is something that I'm constantly working on...Had you hit your hand, you would have been set for quite a while in the tournament and had some chips to dominate the table with.

    I actually would have check/raised the flop. With two callers it's probably for value with your hand, and with the betting being so anemic I think you have significant folding equity here.

    On the turn I fold if the other player folds, I call if he calls. You're getting 2.5-3 to 1 with a pretty big draw... and you haven't invested a lot of time yet. Go for it.
