Here is the situation.
You’re playing an invitational televised tournament. The blinds are 5,000/10,000.
You’re in the Big Blind with 900,000 chips. Everyone folds until a player in middle position, with 1,000,000 chips, who limps in.
The rest of the table folds. You check.
The flop reveals
Q♠5♠4♣
You’re first to speak.
What do you do and what’s your reasoning?
Nothing fancy here. Villain has shown weakness by limping pre flop, I would have likied to reraise here and cbet most flops as I will take the pot down a large majority of the time. However, as played I prefer to fire out this flop, while we do only have bottom pair we have many outs that will improve our holding such as a 5 and a 4, we also have the back door flush draw although while the weaker end of draws could still help us make the best hand. a 6 also wouldn't be a bad card improving our equity and giving us more reeason to barrel with improved equity if we think villain will fold. If he calls, we have plenty of bail out cards.
