Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, couldn't find anywhere to post live hands.

Anyway, this is the hand in question (Can't remember the exact bet sizings but they are close enough, I quickly took a note on my phone after the hand lol) :

Live Tournament - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: N/A
SB: N/A
BB: 100BB+

Hero (CO): Just under 100BB

SB posts SB, BB posts BB

Pre Flop: Hero has 9 8

fold to Hero, Hero raises to 2.5BB, BTN and SB fold, BB calls 1.5BB

Flop: (6-7BB, 2 players) 6 7 2
BB checks, Hero bets 3BB ish, BB raises to 15BB ish, Hero calls

Turn: (36BB ish, 2 players) A
BB bets roughly 25BB, Hero ? (Hero has roughly 80BB behind)

Interesting hand from my first live tournament in 2 years, BB had been pretty solid/tight so far after a couple orbits, no real reads. My image has been pretty solid/tight as well.

Open from CO, V defends. Flop an OESD and flush draw. Standard c-bet , V raises quite big. If it was a cash game I might go for it here with so much equity, but decide to call.

Turn is the A of clubs, V bets roughly 3/4, what are my options? I feel as if I do have implied odds here with my OESD but also reverse implied odds because V could be doing this with the nut flush draw who has paired his A on the turn (or A7ss). 77 also removes one of my spade outs.

Is it profitable to call here or fold and wait for a better spot? Should I be getting it in on the flop in a tournament?

Thanks I manually posted the hand from a random PT hand history incase anyone was wondering 'wtf a live hand from PT4?' lol, makes it a little easier to read I hope!

Its one of the spots where you should probably go for it the flop, you calling just sends a message to your opponent that you're either drawing or too weak to raise, so he can just pick you apart through the hand if hes a somewhat competent player. Me I'd probably rip it on the flop, online I wouldn't even think twice, live I might elect to play it the way you did, it would just depend on how I felt about the situation if there was any chance villian could fold I'd go for it.

Yeah 100% would be ripping the flop if it was online cash, think I was trying to adapt a little too much to tournament play lol. Would you call the turn? Implied odds but reverse implied odds as well as V can have a bigger flush draw

At the point it becomes tricky because if you call and hit it will be difficult for you to extract max value from him, and if he has a higher FD and you both hit it, you're gonna go broke, you're only really comfortable if you hit your straight . There are far better spots to get your money in besides drawing, depending on the pace of the tourney it could be a no brainer shove on the flop even live.

Thanks I ended up folding the turn and preserving my 80bb stack, tried to get him to tell me what he had afterwards but he just smiled and laughed lol

I'd reraise go with it on the flop

Lock poker pros don't 'go with it' on flops
