    This was a double stack trny in the first hr table was seeing alot of cheap flops.
    I hit the flop pretty well and there is 5 ppl in the hand. The blinds raise and reraise before me. Whats my play? what i did is in white.

    fold preflop, just because you're SOOOOOOOOOOOOTED doesn't mean you should limp with garbage UTG.
    or maybe you should have just pushed preflop, just to see where you're at.

    i go broke here as well...u flopped an open ended str8 flush draw, if u miss jus move to the next tourney.

    also dont mind the call pre since u said every1 was seeing cheap flops

    Absolutely no way I don't push all in with this hand. If you run into 89 that sucks but you're still better than 30% to win. You've gotta gamble with this hand, it's a huge payoff if you hit and you've got an open-ended straight flush draw.

    I'm with these fellers...once you see that flop, you should absolutely get all your money in the middle. But there's no reason whatsoever to be playing 74 UTG in a tournament like this. It's a DS, but it's not like you have 500x the BB.

    fold preflop...then it's less interesting and you don't lose your stack.
