Villain seems tight, but it's too early in the tourney to make any conclusive reads. I thought about calling the check raise instead, however, I didn't like the fact that there were two cards to a straight and a twotone flop. How would you guys play this?

So in general, if I flop top pair while holding big slick I should be looking to get all my money in if at all possible? It just seems like this mainy encourages better hands to stay in while driving out worse hands. Or is your advice partially because of the fact that there is a flush and straight draw on board?

nope, but with 50bb on this board texture, yep.

basically yeah. A6/A7/67/66/77 are the only plausible holdings that's beating you right now. there's a ton of hands that you are beating (worse aces, straight draws, flush draws, combos), and there's not a lot of safe turns for you, so get it in now

Sorry, I meant generally in a HUSNG (where in most cases the stacks aren't incredibly deep). Thanks for the advice about many potentially troublesome turns because sometimes I forget to factor that into my decision making enough.
