peel a card since you're getting pretty good odds and fold to large turn bets if unimproved would be my line. Proceed carefully if you hit your 9 though.

I call here and re-evaluate the turn. If Button shoves over the flop action, I probably let it go.

Would i be way out of line to say thats pushing here is the right move? (or one of the right moves?) I think we have a pretty good hand here with a strong draw.
I think worst case sen. is were against a set of 77 but everything else is pretty gravy. I wouldn't mind racing against AA, KK, AQ and if he has the nut flush draw he can't have a pair to go along with it. there is also a decent chance he'll fold hands like AQ.

I vote push

Well, you're certainly not alone there - sippin_criss suggested a push here too. I think it's an interesting move, just a little more aggressive than I generally play this.

MP2's line is very odd here. Check-raising on that board with 5 players in the pot is very dangerous with hands like top pair or a set of 7s. Therefore, I would think he most likely has a draw.

When I first thought about this hand I thought call and reevaluate the turn. Pushing is starting to seem better to me here. If pushing is wrong, it can't be by very much.

I think I would just dump it. Doesn't seem like much fold equity in a shove and I personally don't like being in a flip situation at best (are we ever way ahead here?) this early in an sng. If we call and hit our draw there is no guarantee that villain will pay off. Nitty?
