    Default Any way to get away from this?

    150+12 MTT on Stars..

    Very early in the tourney, I don't think I have played a hand outside the blinds yet. I did get caught up in a mini-blind war though so maybe my image was a bit looser then it was.

    POKERSTARS GAME #3148960930: TOURNAMENT #15369952, HOLD'EM NO LIMIT - LEVEL I (10/20) - 2005/11/24 - 21:13:23 (ET)
    Table '15369952 8' Seat #7 is the button
    Seat 1: Purr Of Aces (1500 in chips)
    Seat 2: THienTHuan (1470 in chips)
    Seat 3: korjae (1380 in chips)
    Seat 4: allLiving (1570 in chips)
    Seat 5: jr72380 (1625 in chips)
    Seat 6: Lukieplaya (1435 in chips)
    Seat 7: SlickGoody (1470 in chips)
    Seat 8: coley24 (1590 in chips)
    Seat 9: 1LT04 (1530 in chips)
    coley24: posts small blind 10
    1LT04: posts big blind 20

    korjae: folds
    *** TURN *** [Qs Kd Th] [Kh]
    Lukieplaya: bets 450 (2nd straight smooth call kinda scares me on this board.. TT, QQ, KQ, AJ are all obviously concerns)
    SlickGoody: calls 450
    *** RIVER *** [Qs Kd Th Kh] [5c]
    Lukieplaya: bets 745 and is all-in (If I check here and he has me beat, he surely puts my AI and I'm not folding here, so I punch the rest in first.. maybe he's a donk calling down with JJ or something)
    SlickGoody: calls 745
    *** SHOW DOWN ***
    Lukieplaya: shows [Kc As] (three of a kind, Kings)
    SlickGoody: shows [Js Ac] (a straight, Ten to Ace)
    SlickGoody collected 2980 from pot
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 2980 | Rake 0
    Board [Qs Kd Th Kh 5c]
    Seat 1: Purr Of Aces folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 2: THienTHuan folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 3: korjae folded on the Flop
    Seat 4: allLiving folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 5: jr72380 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 6: Lukieplaya showed [Kc As] and lost with three of a kind, Kings
    Seat 7: SlickGoody (button) showed [Js Ac] and won (2980) with a straight, Ten to Ace
    Seat 8: coley24 (small blind) folded before Flop
    Seat 9: 1LT04 (big blind) folded before Flop

    Anybody else play this differently?

    this i truly a hard one. What type of hand would call a raise from MP with one limper in front.

    Typical hands are drawing hands like KQ,JT and middle pairs like JJ and lower. Its hard to fold such a strong hand this early in the tournament. If you havent played against him before you cant really put him on anything. Probably I would push the turn.

    To many hands beat you here. AJ:KQ:QQ:TT:KT:K5:J9 intresting hand to follow. He cant be drawing against a flush at this flop. I'm concerned about this one. Turn makes it very hard to release the hand.

    No, you're commited by the river, given that there's still a good chance that you have the best hand. Played it fine, but it wasn't to be.
