It's the mid-early stages of an EPO Satellite. 14 entrants, 1st gets a $6300 package to London. Mostly the table seemed decent. You had to rake race your way into it so they probably all play higher than I do. I've been a nit for the early stages so far just picking up little pots here and there with good hands.

I usually play cash so I feel awkward in tourneys and not sure what the best line is once we hit our hand on this flop vs. 3 other people.

I was thinking raise because there's draws and someone could get it in with an overpair?
But calling might keep weaker hands in?
I'll post the rest of the hand later.

NL Holdem $80(BB) Replayer
Hero ($5,270)
BB ($4,031)
UTG ($4,970)
UTG+1 ($6,571)
UTG+2 ($4,395)
CO ($5,176)
BTN ($4,586)

P.S. I play an identical satellite tomorrow. Same thing, 5k starting stacks, 15 min blinds. Only 10 registered so far, no more than 25 entrants for sure. If a good tourney player wants to sweat me/help me for a piece of the EPO should I happen to win the trip, feel free to msg me on Skype: luvr71

I would personally flat and if the turn is a brick then id donk bet 360 so it looks like you want a cheap river, he'll raise then id either shove turn to kill it or flat hoping for another brick and shove river so it looks like a missed flush draw. what time does it start tomorrow (GMT)
