    PF a little raise would be nice with that many people limping in I think somone hit the str8 and you are beat when you move all-in there.

    But It may be the only move you can make being shortstacked like you are.

    I think at best you are beat by a str8 at best you are facing a str8 draw or a weak king.

    He's not really shortstacked. It's just the tourney structure. he's firmly middle of the pack here.

    As far as the actual hand? I don't mind it.

    its funny how 785 chips is pretty much half of a Pstars starting chip stack.

    With a QKT flop slowplaying or trying to keep players in would be a big mistake. An Ace,Jack or nine on the turn would either mean you're beat or freeze your betting and kill your action. As far as the possibility of being beat, a set is unlikely with no preflop raise, the only hands likely to take you out are AJ and J9. Compare this to the hands that can call your all-in bet that you can beat: QT,KT,KJ,AK......$20+2.....at this level(or even at $50+5) I wouldn't be too surprised by TJ, QJ or even K-rag making a sick call. If someones got the straight here I just assume that they'll put me all-in by the river and I'll get busted or severely crippled if I don't make a boat, so I'm not saving any chips by calling and checking. I don't think folding would be a good option. The only way I can see getting away from the hand if you're beat is checking and calling until a A,J or 9 drops, I think that would be way too weak. I like your play, make those bastards with a pair and an OEST pay the max or get out. Make bottom 2 pair give you all his chips now before a J comes on the turn and scares him away.

    the min raise after you lead out scares me here, but i am putting in a big reraise here. I might nor push all in, but ia m raising at least half my stack. The way you played this hand is fine. If he does have a made straight, you have outs.....pretty well played IMO.
