The bet on the flop wasn't terrible but I would have just given it up vs 2 other opponents and only a gutshot. (Unless someone made a weak looking bet and I had a read then I may raise).

Definitely give it up on the river, there's no point trying to bluff out 2 people in a nothing pot, especially so early.

Check

[CoxhEd]

Check and lay it down if someone bets.

that bet on river is so -ev. Only hand that should call you will beat you unless your playing a total idiot, in which case you were.

I know, even when making it, i was thinking to myself "what the hell am I doing?" ... should have checked it... oh well

[Staple Gun]

The flop bet isnt horrible because if you are beat you will know it, and a weaker ace might call for his straight, that said I still woulda checked). The bet on the river was useless.

First few orbits of a multi I'm usually pushing and hoping to double up, or not raising preflop and seeing what develops. In this case it appears that the idiot who called on the river would also have called an allin preflop, so that prob would be best. If you bust you can always start another.

Raises get no respect at the start of MTT's so I don't bother anymore.
