    it's tough because... it's a 1.50 turbo... and many of these ppl are beginners and/or fish and have "he's bluffing syndrome"... tagg usually works best here... unless you really think they were all drawing like you. argh tough call
    Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
    Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
    Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place
    Tbags [observer]: another scumbag gets there on this site lol

    Considering the buy-in and how early it is in the tourney, I would check/fold.

    himself fucker.
    check/fold

    Since i would tell you to pot this hand for value if you hit your draw, there's no bluff you can really make with much folding equity.

    I still say folf preflop.
    Even if you have pots odds to call with any two you still have to reserve chips for later stages.

    It is way too easy to have the 2nd best hand and lose a ton of chips on it.

    Sorry, its just not worth it in my book.
