This was a very tricky spot given the straightening cards on the flop, what would you do here guys?
I've only just been moved to the table, this is the third hand since I arrived. Player A is well known on the site as a cash player, he also has an excellent record in tournaments. Players B and C are unknown to me. We're nearing the end of the level 3, 22/32 are remaining with 5 to be paid. (This was not a bounty hunter tourney)

not a tough decision ever, I reckon he has a hand like 7-10, 8-10 or 9-10. Does he jam with made straight? Unlikely. If he has, great disguise, but you're still live to house up.
I call this and see him turn over top pair/2 pair/open ender 90% of the time. If he binks the straight or already has it, so be it- but calling is the correct play 100% of the time.
When player A also shoved after me I was fully expecting him to show a made straight, he didn't but he probably had reasonable enough equity to call with his top pair, open ended straight draw and back door flush draw. Fortunately my cards held up.
The hand Dohhhhhhh describes above sounds spookily similar to this one.
Deja vu, flopped sets FTW!
This hand was played 5 minutes ago in a bounty hunter tournament, my unlucky opponent did have the flopped straight this time, I was hoping to escape with a full house, maybe quads at the best, but managed to hit runner-runner straight flush!
