    Hero bets t220, MP3 raises to t1400, Hero ???

    I feel like I'm ahead but have to fold. Seems very unlikely he has a made hand, maybe just a big draw. But I guess I could see him doing it with a low flush, or something. Maybe 78s non-clubs?
    If you are one in a million, there's eight just like you in Manhattan.

    First, a raise to 80 is a mistake. You must raise to atleast 150 here IMO. In early stages of a tourney, most players are likely to call PF raises b/c they are so small in comparison to their stacks. You must isolate with a hand like QQ.

    2nd, his mostly likely holding is A,10 or two pair. I'd fold either way...no need to risk it early on in the tourney.

    I feel you should have raised it alot more pre-flop due to you being in the small blind and out of position.

    Im never a great fan in these situations either as its always hard to lay down such good cards but this is your only sensible option. Even if he holds just one club, his chances of hitting another are just too high.
