Isn't the board sort of coordinated here?

yues it is

but in a riased pot like this, are u more worried about a set or a straight?

magicman has AK or TT, id put my money on AK. marty prolly has QT or AT or maybe even KJ, but unlikely. pretty scary, good arguments for folding or raising, i myself would probably push.

I think that's a toughie. If you think you're good you have to push but the action dictates someone might have caught a set or a straight...but it might as well be a probe bet and an AK or perhaps a flush draw...bah, I don't think I can get away from it so I push this flop. There's probably more chances you're ahead than behind. What's the chance of them having AA or QQ when you have AQ? The only threat remaining is TT and KJ, if one of them has it, I pay it ( and hey! you still got outs for the full house)...that's my 2 cents

So all these hands that are still possible aren't that likely and I should risk all my chips this early in the tourney?

Well I figure that calling here is stupid (you don't want to give a free card), reraising is stupid (you're pretty much pot commited), folding is so weak tight I wanna puke, so it leaves us to pushing and hoping to double up.

It looked really bad to me for some reason. I'm not just being results oriented.
