    Default Help with a Hand

    This was the last hand in a tourney I was playing in today. My chips stack was low, my M was under 5 after posting the big blind. About an hour and a half in.

    The questions I have are: Should I have waited for a better spot to go all in or was I justified in going all in here after the flop with a straight draw? And should I have gone all in before the flop instead?

    After thinking over this hand, I think I should have check folded after the flop and waited for a better spot. The ace on the flop was just too dangerous and only a ten would give me a straight. I don't think I should have gone all in preflop with so many players in the pot. Thoughts? I'm new to holdem so any tips would be appreciated.

    i would check fold on the flop. there are way too many players in so it takes away your bluff equity. you should probably just wait for the next hand to shove. if everyone folds around to you shove preflop next hand or any hands following that. even if you get called by over cards you are 40/60.
