end of an MTT : Top 2 on a suited Flop

[jpean]

Hi everybody

I think that at this moment, I had almost a strong image at the table and My stack was a little more than the average...

I hesitate between to move :
1 : bet 15k and see what happens
2 : Try a check raise. if someone has the flush he would probably go all in and it will be an easy fold...

I would fold preflop, the hand has reversed implied odds which outweigh the immediate pot odds imo.

As played lead/stack off line is my preferred option as you will often get this checked round multiway and get outdrawn or lose value from a bare big heart. I think leading 15k and stacking here is fine.

I agree with every word of that

I probs check jam here.

Or check call AI

I dislike that line for the reasons Longy gives, you so often see a flop like this checked all the way round as everyone is wary of it

[jpean]

I don't like a bit the check/call here... you have no visibility where you stand... isn'it ?

here is the end of the hand...

I think in ANY multi, you will rarely see a pot checked round here..
