Just came second in this tourney, weeeee

[Swordpoker]

Well done coming 2nd!

To me, this should have been a fold. Because he called your raise there is a very good chance that he had a pocket pair. His all-in also suggests pocket pair. If he had  for example, he might want to go all-in to prevent you hitting an overcard on turn or river. Even if he doesn't have a pocket pair then he either has hit the flop (unlikely) or he has 2 over cards. With 2 overcards he has about a 25% of hitting on turn or river.

So, he either has you beat, or you are ahead with still a 25% chance of being knocked out of the tourney. I would wait for better opportunities to get my chips in.

Agreed with Swordpoker.   The call preflop would worry me so I'd have taken it easier on the flop and probably bet about half the pot.

I would fold here too.. if he has A4 in this situation, you cannot even hit your kicker to get you out of jail!! you are drawing to runner 2's or the case 4 for the split!

[Royal Flush]

you cannot even hit your kicker to get you out of jail!!

Dunno if that was on purpose, but i found it funny

P.S. Loving the play, i probably call.

Or Lucy in the Sky with running diamonds...

If he has a 3 there, I'll eat my hat. Very rarely do you see someone lump it with floped trips when the raiser has the betting initiative.

Slightly worried about medium players, but if he has one of them, he's played it horrible.

I call here too.

And i did not mention him possibly having A3 here either!

[thetank]

If he does have A3, he wins the prize for worst play of the week.

Flat calling with Ace-Rag, then leading (all-in no less) into the aggresive raiser once a miracle flop comes.
