Hand analysis from recent live game 1

[Markpl1]

My game has now get to the level where I think i can hold my own at the local casino tournament. The level is quite good with a few notable maniac exceptions. Last night there were 49 entrants in a 30 pound pot limit hold em tournament the final 10 get make the money. For the first 1 90 mins you are allowed to re buy and then one top is allowed before the tournament proper get going. I managed to get up to about 6000 in chips with about 25 left without a buy in (playing solidly imo). Then i get dealt pair of 6's in the bb. No one raises but two people call the 600 required to see the flop. One player the 1st to act behind me is loose and a poor player. The 2nd player is a good solid bloke who I know quite well. The flop come a rainbow 8 7 6. I have trips but there is obviously the straight draw out there what do I do? By the way I checked before the flop hoping to get the set. The max raise is 1800 and the loose player has me covered comfy, the good player has around the same as me. I will let you know what I did after some replies just interested how everyone would play it? First!

Re: Hand analysis from recent live game 1 I think i would have folded. I know I haven't played long and they may be a better option, but I reckon it would be two risky. straight as well as trip 8's and trip 7's would have frightened me off. I have no doubt they'll be more in depth opinions out there from the more experienced players rather than this humble one!:unsure
