deep 3k starting chips, 90MTT
mostly straight forward opponents
typical loose stations calling too much oop

The call preflop is ok with the pot odds. I might smooth call the flop bet to peel, and see what the next guy does. I would like more info on the tourney, the HH says only 9 players but you guys had a lot of chips. What 9 person tourney starts with that many chips? Were you in the money? I would possibly fold preflop with two callers and your positional disadvantage. An open shove on the flop if you're ready to commit isn't a bad idea either, you might buy the pot. I guess getting it in on the flop is pretty standard for such a low buyin; nothing wrong with gambling with one over and the nut flush draw for a nice pot.

Just noticed you could have closed the action on the flop but decided to raise...Yeah I would have just called.

Final Pot: t29995
orus31 shows Q Q (two pair, Aces and Queens)
Hero shows 6 A (three of a kind, Aces)
Hero wins t29995
