Default Flush draw...

Let's say you are in a tournament..You have the same chips as your oponents..You recieve . Only you and a player get to see the flop..The flop comes ..Your opponent forces you all in after the flop .. All you have is a flush draw..What do you do ? Do you call with a gutshot ?

I would like as many opinions as you can give me so please do not hesitate to tell yours..

Cheers,
W13rd0W

I would need to have a little more info before i could give my opinion. In particular, how many people are left in the tourney and what stakes the game is being played for ..Also, what happened pre-flop..any kind of raising or both limped in..

IMO, if someone puts all his money in on a flop like that, i would put him on a pair at the least.. well it would also be helpful to know if the guy is a tight player or a maniac..

Yeah, it all depends on the scenario.

Lets say theres 50 people left in this tournament and your 35th with a great chance of making the money but you havent made it to the money round yet, which is 20th place or higher.

If i was in that position and someone with the same amount of chips risked all his with that flop and all i have is a flush draw, i would fold.
My thinking is he either caught a Set, 2 pairs, or hes on a draw himself which he doesnt want you to chase.

But if he had half the chips as i did, i would call.

If i was in the money round already, i would call.

Theres a lot of other factors involved as well like BBPGURU said, so you might have to be a little more specific with the details.

as i said 50 players left in the tournament...from the 80th position people started to get money...the money diference beetween places 30-50 is very little let's say 5 $...but the top 10 are payed almost double then this positions.my opponent was a very loose player that liked to bluff alot...it was a player that i'm not in very good relations with because he insulted me in a tournament.

What else do u want me to say about this hand ?
I would like to hear more opinions and after that i will tell what happened at the end..

Cheers,
W13rd0W

I really dont like to put my tournament life on the line on a draw. I would fold that hand 9 out of 10 times,but sometimes you get that gut feeling that you need to call and go with your instincts.
Thats why you need to take alot of notes on the people you are playing. If it was someone who tends to bluff alot I would consider a call.
You worked to hard to get to that point to blow it,you know who matasau is(i think thats how you spell his name oh well you get the point). Sometimes it works, most of the time your gone.

Assuming you only have called the BB, this is an easy fold.

Now if it is a freeroll, call everytime.
