    In a 45-player SNG, I would push here almost every time. There's just no way I can fold pocket queens on that board with starting stacks like this.

    Damn, wish you guys were around... I wussed out and folded it. When the guy led out on the flop for full pot, I thought he had a higher pair... Usually people with the flush draw will bet like 1/4 of the pot to try to keep it low...

    Here's how it turned out...

    I think maybe I am starting to get a little gun-shy from all the beats...
