    Default So I pushed into two with a draw ... (NL50)

    I just switched from Stars NL25 to Full Tilt NL50. This is the very first orbit so absolutly nothing about them.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO ($49.25)
    Button ($59.05)
    SB ($44.95)
    Hero ($55.05)
    UTG ($20.15)
    UTG+1 ($50.10)
    MP1 ($66.50)
    MP2 ($25.80)
    MP3 ($69.20)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, 9.
    1 fold, MP1 calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP3 raises to $1.5, CO calls $1.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $1, MP1 calls $1.

    Flop: ($6.25) 6, 9, T (5 players)
    Hero checks, MP1 bets $2.5, MP3 raises to $13.75, CO folds, Hero raises to $53.55 (All-In), MP1 folds, MP3 folds.

    Final Pot: $76.05

    Short story ... I don't know what to do, so I push. No brainer or horrible?

    working myself up to FTR fullhouse status while not giving 1 solid piece of advice
    you might leave out your action next time - For instance, MP1 bets $2.5 MP3 raises to $13.75, Hero....????

    but i don't mind the push there - I would suspect most of the time you are getting called by MP3 though...unless he smells set (probable on a draw heavy board) - avg. donks will call you here with overpairs....

    this is a great draw though, regardless of if they call you or not...pair and flush draw and even a gutshot....

    don't show their actions

    I thought you were staresy (I think that was who used a similar avatar)

    I think folding is the correct response. It looks like MP3 really likes his hand and your draw isn't that hot (overcards help a lot).

    Swig--14-ish outs aren't enough?

    I like the play. High variance, but I like it.....

    I was thinking 9 outs, I guess it should be 12 at least.

    I guess I'm used to a different kind of game but the flop action looks an awful lot like a set. Although flop 1.5x raise after a limper could be high pocket pair.

    I like it. Lots of dead money, should have some fold equity since MP1 lead weak into a scary board and MP3 figures to have an overpair... pair + draw = push baby!

    P.S. Don't show results (villains folding) it makes responding way too easy.

    I think the only hands you fear are sets and JhQh so I'd do it. Funny I just posted a hand a little bit like this myself where I'm pushing a flush draw with a pair so I've been playing around with pokerstove on situations like this, it's interesting stuff.
    Must get more aggressive - Tonight we dine in $25NL! rah rah rah! etc

    I stoved a little after posting this. HU I'm favorite against any overpair (even with a heart) or a bigger FD (like AKs). And even against TT or Qh Jh I'm only 40/60.
    Sure I am in really trouble if both call, e.g. with AKs AND TT.
    But I thnik it's fine. Thank you for your thoughts, next time I will post the HH uncomplete.
