PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)CO (t7620)Button (t3880)Hero (t3789)BB (t2215)UTG (t2760)UTG+1 (t5536)MP1 (t5624)MP2 (t4995)Preflop: Hero is SB with 9 , 5 . 3 folds, MP2 calls t150, CO calls t150, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.Flop: (t600) 6 , 7 , 7 (4 players)Hero bets t175, BB raises to t2065, MP2 folds, CO calls t2065, Hero ....??1. Is the preflop call ok given the pot odds?2. How do we like the weak lead? It's a play I like to make with a draw out of position because it gives me a chance to hit my draw cheaply, if no one raises.3. How about the pot odds on the flop? I could be drawing to one out if someone has a boat already, the C/O called pretty quickly. Plus I figure it's for a large percentage of my stack, and I could only have one shot at it if the C/O fires again on the turn.Thoughts appreciated.

I missed the turn card being dealt.

Flop lead is too weak. If you want to bet, make it a decent bet, ie 2/3 of the pot. I just noticed you mentioned that you like the weak lead... the problem is that you are begging for a raise. Play it stronger, and you will get a lot more info when raised.Preflop is fine.I would fold to his raise. While BB doesn't have to have the boat, I don't want to risk my entire stack here. If the board isn't paired, I get it all in. I'm more than a little scared about CO, btw.

Too often here your up against a 7, a higher flush draw or both. I dont think you have odds to call, you gotta get rid of it

1. Yes2. No3. No, and your tournament odds are even worse. Fold.1. Give multiple callers, completing from the SB with a suited pocket isn't a bad call.2. This probe-sized lead telegraphs weakness and invites a push or a huge raise, even if one can argue that villain pushes regardless. A lead of half the pot serves the same purpose and doesn't appear nearly as weak. Hindsight says that, as played, it was the best move since the smart play at this point is to fold.3. You have, IIRC, 12 outs here, the 9 other diamonds plus 3 other 8's (since we can't count 8d twice), out of 32 remaining cards in the deck, around a 1 out of 2.5 chance (3:2 odds). The pot's over 2800 and you need to put in about 1900 to call: give it's borderline it's a dubious call at best, so you don't really have the pot odds.But even if you had the pot odds, the tournament situation makes this an easy fold: you're risking most of your stack to call, and if villain has a legit made hand, a better flush draw, a better straight draw, or even nothing but has you beat if neither side improves, whatever... and beats you, then you're crippled and good luck surviving the next few rounds. And 3 to 2 odds are 3 to 2 odds: you have about a 40% chance of making a hand, and even then you can't guarantee said hand would win.Easy fold.

Preflop call is fine. Weak leads like that broadcast that youre on a draw and either kill your action when the hand hits or begs for a raise. I check and consider a check rise to a weakish bet, which can take down the pot or disguise your hand when you hit it.Fold to big bets when youre on a draw and may well be drawing dead or villain has 35% redraws unless you hit the SF.
