    I might not C-bet that flop because of all the draws and 3 people seeing it. The blinds are small and you didnt put that much of your stack in the pot. I dont mind the way you played it though.

    No, it's a tough hand to play without position. You absolutely have to fold to that last diamond. A turn bet may be incorrect because of a Q or a potential set, but I think I'm throwing one out here anyway to protect myself incase he made a pair of nines or something on his flush draw. Feels like a flush draw.

    With the blinds small, two others in the pot, and me out of postiion I would have reluctantly check/folded this flop.

    As a side note I also don't raise from EP to MP this early in the tournament with 10's, but that may be a tight ass preference.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    Yeah, I checked the turn because I figured that he could have Q-anything with a diamond and make that call. I didn't think a lower pair or a random hand w/ One diamond were likely enough situations to try and bet on the turn.
