Flush draw............fold/call/raise

[effigy]

Was just playing in a $10 SNG, and second hand this hand occured and I'm interested to see what everyone would do: First hand was a raise from 2nd position everyone folds by the way...... Everyone has roughly $1500 and I have no info on any players as it's just started........... CO raises to $60 Button calls $60 SB folds I raise to $250 with AKh CO & button call Pot is now $760 Flop: 9h 10c Jh So I've got nut flush draw, gutshot nut straight draw, also 2 overs but I doubt their validity as K would no likely make a straight for an opponent and A may make 2 pair for an opponent ( this is what I was thinking at the time ) and since I re-raised preflop I decide to follow through and I bet $400 into the pot and CO raises all in and button calls all in as well! So the pot is now a monster of $3750! And I've got $750 left giving me exactly 5-1 odds on my money if I call. Now in a cash game I'd call like a shot, but I thought a bit and decided to fold as obviously I knew I was beat at the moment, and that I'm pretty confident that I've enough chips left to make the money ( I did come 3rd in the end ) but I had real doubts that even though I made the money that I turned down a good chance to win it ( even though I made the money I was never close to getting the first place as my chips never got above $1500 ) so I'm wondering what others would have done, as I seem to value my life in the tourney more than the odds. It did turn out that CO had 99 and Button had KQ which held up for the straight and I wouldn't have hit my heart either. However I consider the fact I would have been knocked out irrelevant as I didn't know that at the time of course. Anyway so I'm wondering 1) how would you play the AKh preflop? call od raise ( and how much ) 2) would you bet that flop ( and how much ) or not 3) do you call the 2 all-ins? Many thanks for any help!!

Re: Flush draw............fold/call/raise Shame you posted what actually happened. Before I got to that point, I was pretty sure one of them holds KQ anyway. I have no problem with your re raise pre flop, but I still would have just called and hoping for hitting the flop. You didn't hit that flop and its a pretty bad flop for AK. With raise and call before the flop, I'm not messing with other guys on that flop. I would check and if they are both all in I'm out of there. Yet if I put 400 in, thats half of my stuck. I'm all in and hoping for heart.
