Call or Fold?

[shovemonkey]

I am new to poker (playing about 7 months). I play online (ACR, Bovada and Global Poker) most of the time, but do play in a weekly home game. I do some sort of studying every day whether it be watching videos, reading books and articles, or analyzing my hands with tools like Poker Copilot and Flopzilla.

Online 1000 GTD MTT $5+$0.50 on Global Poker
Starting stacks 2000
109 entrants 99 remaining
Blinds 30/60 no ante

It is very early in the tourney and don’t know much about any of the other players except they like to see flops, turns and rivers at almost any price. It seems most of the players at this table jam pre with medium to large pairs.

UTG (1700) limps for 60 (pot 150)

folds to

UTG+2 (2100) min raises to 120 (pot 270)

Folds to

CO (1800) calls 120 (pot 390)

BTN Hero (3700) raises to 600 (pot 990) with KQdd

Blinds fold

All three call (pot 2490)

FLOP 2d, 8d, Ax

UTG (1100), UTG+2 (1500) and CO (1200) all jam (pot 6290)

Hero (3100)?

I ended up calling it off (1500) and the run out is 9x, 10d and I scoop with a flush.

UTG showed Ax, 6x

UTG showed 74hh

CO showed 3x, 3x

I was berated by a couple of players who were not in the hand for making a bad call and that I just got lucky. I was also berated for making the preflop raise. I know at the stakes I am playing there are a lot of bad players as well as learning players like me. Did I play this right?

I have about a 36% chance of improving my hand (using the 4 and 2 rule – 4×9 outs since opponents are all-in ) and I am getting 4.2:1 (6290/1500) pot odds to call. This is a no-brainer call isn’t it? Does having multiple opponents change the math?

No, I don’t think you misplayed the hand actually. You can argue, with 3 all-ins in front of you one of them might have the nut flush, but if they show hands like that often, I would call it off any day of the week ( except on mondays, I don’t play on mondays)
