    Default $0.25 45-man. Acceptable?

    No specific reads except that the table is full of micro-donks.

    PokerStars Hold-em Tourney ($0.25+$0.00), Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from triple-t
    (Format: PokerForums.org)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    SB (t1110)
    BB (t2545)
    UTG (t1470)
    MP1 (t1710)
    MP2 (t2260)
    CO (t1110)
    Hero (t4765)
    Hero is Button with .
    Pre-Flop:
    2 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero calls, SB calls, BB checks.

    Blinds are loose PF so I'm confident they'll call making the pot multiway. Plus, I have a huge stack so I can afford it.

    Flop: (Pot=t150) (5 players)
    SB bets t90, BB calls, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero calls.

    5.6:1 pot odds say call.

    Turn: (Pot=t600) (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, MP2 bets t90, CO calls, Hero raises to t500, SB folds, BB folds, MP2 calls, CO calls.

    MP2's bet looks like a block bet and CO's call doesn't scream flush, so I raise to deny odds for a single heart to chase (knowing they will anyway).

    River: (Pot=t2100) (3 players)
    MP2 checks, CO checks, Hero checks.

    Not sure here. A bet didn't seem extremely profitable so I checked behind.

    Spoiler
    MP2 has , Two Pairs, Aces and Tens
    CO has , Two Pairs, Aces and Tens
    Hero has , A Flush, Ace high
    Hero wins t2100 from pot.

    I like it as played. You may be able to extract value from a T, but if one of them is trying to get fancy with a boat or a bigger flush, it would put you in a really tough spot against a re-pop. No point in splashing away your chip stack in a situation like this.

    My thoughts exactly. I'm still playing in the tourney. 2nd of 9 left.

    You see what my competition is like. I can win this if I avoid bad luck and cranial flatulence.

    triple - with being results oriented, look at the lines they're willing to take, and the ranges they are taking them with, and now asks yourself if you think they're always going to fold the river with those hands.
