I am in an online MTT

I have 1375 chips having started with 1500, we are on level two blinds are 25-50, and I've not seen a single hand

there are three limpers into a pot and I am in the small blind with

 

I make up the blind and the big blind checks

the flop is

 

Hello!

I'm not doing a poll....but I can't ask for much better than that

I checked the flop and the initial limper bets 300 into the 250 pot, it's folded to me

I have no information on the bettor, he hasn't played a hand yet either

clearly I have to be afraid of a  flush draw, there may be an overpair, or a set or a straight or straight draw or just top pair...lots of things to consider and,online, not much time

what is your move in response to the 300 bet? would you have led out on this flop, first to act (I am immeidately thinking check raise clearly)? if you raise, how much?

I'll tell you what I did and what happened later


thank you all

Get your chips in! If he has  then your unlucky! With a pot sized bet and guessing its a good game he could be holding  ! but as you said who knows!

I'd just call this then hopefully check raise all in on the turn. You can represent the flush if it comes anyway. I wanna suck more chips out of him not frighten him off

I'd be more tempted to call. No diamond on the flop you push in there.

If he's on a draw he's more likely to call on the flop and put your tournement life at risk. If no diamond comes on the turn he's unlikeley to call for the draw with 1 card to come.

As someone said, if he's got 8-10 you've lost your chips whatever you do.

He has over bet the pot on the flop, he's hardly representing a drawing hand.

correct Winkie and Simon has the hand

Of course he hits a 9 on the river to hit a boat

That's immaterial really, but I think there are a variety of ways to play this post flop

Is the instant call of my all in with trip 7's automatic?

I would call his flop bet and lead out on the turn, I think he has an overpair with one diamond
