Call or fold straight flush draw here?

Playing on 200 weekly tourney

Mid stage of tourney, rebuy still available.

Hero raises min A8 from mp after 1 caller. Gets called 4 way to the flop.

Flop 679
Bb donks 15k to 30k pot. Early position calls.
Hero raises to 50k. Bb shoves abt 250k. Ep calls for 75k.

Hero stack abt 325 ish.
Basically getting 2 to 1 when real equity is 50%. But will get crippled if hero loses this flip.

Is calling or folding the correct long run play here? Folding will leave hero abt 80-90bb. Call and lose will leave with abt 25 bb.

What are the blinds? Stack sizes don't mean much without that information.

Raise more than the minimum after a limper. Don't raise the flop unless you're planning to stack off.


I would call that in a heartbeat if you have Ah8h. straight draw, flush draw and one over card. pot odds is 42% if I'm right and chances of hitting your flush or straight is 52% so imo call


Blinds 1.5/3k
I had 325k ish


I don't see how you can raise this flop and consider folding. The worst case scenario is you have 25% equity and 5% equity to tie. That's the worst, but there are many hands that you will have greater than 40% equity ( if they both have sets 99 and 66, then you have 42% equity). If they both have the straight, you are at 38%. So basically, there isn't a world where this is gonna be a fold. The only possibility where I think this can be folded is if there is some satellite pressure and we are close to the bubble.
