Call or fold?

1st hand of MTT, roughly 250 players, top 27 pay. I limp from late position with 45s, 5 players see flop which is AT6, AT in my suit. 2 people are all in before me, i am last to act. What do you do?

fold. Your 9 outs could very well be counterfeited. If you had a hand like JQs where your flush outs are more secure and you have a gutshot as well then I'd call.

fold - you have a shitty flush draw, not even close to the nuts. Pick a better spot - and its the first hand! Patience, grasshopper.

I did fold, was just wondering if it is the right play or not. Was quite strange really...both the players who were all in had T6o

Well then they made bad plays too it looks like.

You should fold that hand for sure, get ready for a long tournament, no need to play such a big pot on a draw.

Good fold. What site is this?

VCPoker. I probably should have mentioned that it was a qualifier for the VC Student Poker championships, so was free entry. However the play there is not usually hugely fishy, i guess because you have to be a student (in the UK) to enter, and students dont often have loads of spare cash, so if they play poker, they are most likely to be winning players. But there's a few fish in it still as you don't have ot deposit it play in it.

PS is it that bad to go all in with T6 on an AT6 board?

I would say that it's bad that they played T6 to begin with. Especially out of position and unsuited. I might see the flop if I am on the button and everyone called and it's suited. Other than pre-flop, if you want to take a chance with two pair then go for it. But, don't forget that people like to play AT and with 5 people in there someone may have it.
