MP: 1,020
CO: 2,700
BTN: 1,810
SB: 2,200
Hero (BB): 1,970
UTG: 2,630
Pre-Flop: (150) 3 2 dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG calls 100, 4 folds, SB calls 50, Hero checks
Flop: (300) 4 A 5 (3 Players)
SB bets 100, Hero raises to 300, UTG raises to 2,530 and is All-In, SB folds, Hero ???
I have no reads on this specific player. As played, should I take my chances with the straight, or should I wait for a better spot to get my chips in? |

This is a difficult situation. But I'd probably fold just because blinds aren't that big and you can wait for a better spot, its very dangerous and your hand is very vulnerable... even hands like a set can beat you if the board pairs. That's the worst hand I'd be able to put something on, maybe something like Ace offsuit and the King for the flush which is really iffy still. I try to avoid turbos tho so maybe you do need to call.
Though if I was steaming I'd call instantly.

| I'd call it. The shove doesn't look like a made flush to me, more likely its another hand that hit the flop that is scared of the flush draw. But you have all of those hands beat. With only 17 BBs and in a turbo, there really isn't time to wait for a better spot imo, this one is plenty good enough. |

+1. Although a baby flush may also take this line, it's more likely someone with aces or better and no diamond or a smaller one. In a lot of cases here you won't even have to sweat a diamond. |

| super easy call. run into AxXd a lot here or some random two pair / set hand way more then a flush. I'm usually fist pumping here also. |

| Big slick is right. That does seem like 2 pair here. If he has the baby flush (which is also possible) so be it. |
