ok, its live tourney time. blinds are 1k and 2k and you have about 20k left. you have: and min raise mid Position with no action yet to 4k and get 2 other callers.

The flop comes  .

You have a possible straight with any 9 or any Ace and your first to act. Is the best play here to push all-in or check. If you do check and someone bets 4k into you do you call, fold or push all-in?

What about if it was a flush draw and the board was  ? whats the right play here? again with a 4k bet into you

the best play is to push all in on the flop (as played) as the pot represents your stack size. With 10 big blinds before the hand its worth pushing all in pre flop and taking the 3k in chips.

If you play this hand with that stacksize, push preflop. Minraising is way, way, way worse than folding.

As it is, the flop bailed you out. Shove now.

Welcome Back imo, after your 10 month abscence. 

Best way is to push ALL IN under both circumstances i reckon. Id have made it 5000 pre tho not 4.

With ten time the bb I am always going to either push or fold preflop, on seeing that flop though I would insta-push, if I had the flush draw as well then I would probably check raise all in to try and get the tripple up as I could really do with the chips.
