You are playing 8 handed in a £500 freezout single table tournament. It is the first hand. There has been some action pre-flop (I can't recall the betting, but it was a multi-way pot with 5-6 callers). You are in the cut off position with 3c4c The flop comes down    Early position who raised pre-flop bets 2k into the 3k pot. Everyone folds around to you. What are you going to do? |

Fold , you could be against better flush draw or a set, no need to get too busy this early on. your chips can be put to better use later on in the tourney.

pass. It's not a good price to draw to your flush, even assuming it's a live draw which it probably isn't. I wouldn't even be seeing a flop with that outside of the blinds.

Okay, lets assume you call.
The turn brings you a club. Matey boy goes all in very quickly, for around 7k. What do you do now?

thats why you pass, because if you're flush comes and matey boy bets it you can't call.

What, even to an instant all in before the card even touches the felt?

he might have a big hand and be sure you'll pay him off. If you're regularly playing hands like   he might feel confident coming out betting into you with a big flush |

What actually happened is that you sat there for 12 minutes deciding whether to call or not.
You eventually call, and matey boy shows his straight with AJ (made on the flop).
