    Default 33 deep stack tourny on stars...call or fold?

    This guy has been pretty loose aggressive and his stack has been very short, then up etc etc...

    Do you call or fold here? What's your move and why?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t2905)
    UTG (t10020)
    UTG+1 (t7423)
    MP1 (t2155)
    MP2 (t14935)
    MP3 (t2194)
    CO (t10140)
    Button (t6136)
    Hero (t5727)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, 5.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls t50, 2 folds, MP3 calls t50, CO calls t50, Button calls t50, Hero completes, BB checks.

    Flop: (t300) 8, 6, 7 (6 players)
    Hero bets t400, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, MP3 calls t400, CO folds, Button raises to t6086, Hero ???

    I have to call. You flopped a made str8 and the only hand that beats you right now is 910. He's pushing probably with two pair, a set, or an over pair. Other than that he may be pushing for a flush draw. You're ~ an 80% favorite to win. I would have to take this edge.

    shysti - IMO you are too good to be asking this question.

    Only one hand (9T) beats you on this flop and there are lots and lots and lots of hands that would push here which you are beating (xdxd, 2 pair, set, 89, an overpair, etc.).

    The only reason I believe anyone would post this hand is because they lost to T9, don't worry about it, you can't fold the 2nd nuts.

    I think it is much more likely that he lost to a flush here than the 9T.

    lost to a 9T here lol, I wasn't asking because I didn't know what the right move here was, more along the lines I like to hear everyone's opinions on hands like this.

    Plus, for those who are newer to tournaments reviewing these kinds of hands helps their game.

    Thanks for your input guys
