    You're drawing to a gutshot straight, which has less than a 1 in 10 chance of hitting on the turn. So by calling 220 chips to win ~1500 chip pot you're not getting proper pot odds. Then on the turn you do the same thing again. Not to mention that you're putting your tournament life at risk on a terrible draw. At this early stage of the tournament, from middle position, you should fold this hand pre-flop. If the table is really passive pre-flop, you might limp, but I wouldn't. As played I would fold to the pre-flop re-raises. KTo is not a good hand.

    A couple of other things... use a hand coverter if possible:

    And this forum is generally for cash game hands. Post in the MTT or SNG forums for better tourney advice. GL.
