What stage of the tournament is this? How many entrants and how many remaining?

[TanO]

I usually check that flop and hope to see a free card

After raising and seeing reraises and then allins, particularly from the BB, its a definite fold. The BB is the most likely player to have hit this flop apart from you, so when he shows strength on top of your raise thats what makes me lay the hand down more than any of the other moves by ppl here.

[drawman]

I agree with TanO.
Check the flop and then fold to the re-raise. You made a terrible call I think and got VERY lucky.

[WildBobAA]

Bad, bad call on the flop.

[pantherhound]

Isn' this purely a question of pot odds?

There are roughly a billion chips in the pot by the time everyone's had their say on the flop. I'm guessing these are grrrreat odds to call with 8 clean outs. The turn gives you another draw but with the action someone probably has a FH.

Chaotic hand. i dunno, doesn't come up that often...

[ilikeaces86]

Well its not that bad of a call if you factor in the +EV siuations you get my having a big stack and the things you can do with a big stack. I personally will sometimes gambol to get the big stack because I know what I can do with it.
