    Default How should I play this?

    My network connection kept dying every now and then so I didn't get much time to think (no excuses honestly, lol). Early in the tourney so no real reads on anyone. How would you play this hand?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP1 (t1800)
    Hero (t1390)
    CO (t2255)
    Button (t1425)
    SB (t1115)
    BB (t1935)
    UTG (t1400)
    UTG+1 (t2180)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J, T.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls t30, MP1 calls t30, Hero calls t30, 1 fold, Button raises to t90, SB calls t75, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t60, MP1 calls t60, Hero calls t60.

    Flop: (t480) K, Q, Q (5 players)
    SB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

    Turn: (t480) A (5 players)
    SB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 bets t120, Hero calls t120, Button calls t120, SB calls t120, UTG+1 calls t120.

    River: (t1080) 2 (5 players)
    SB bets t905 (All-In), UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls t905, Hero ???

    Final Pot: t2890
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Fold preflop, raise the turn, probably fold the river, but it's close.

    I mean fold the first time around. By the time it is 60 back to you and you are closing the action, it is an easy call. But def fold the first time.

    Fold preflop? I know its not a great hand but i'm getting 3.5/1 on the first call then 7/1 when it's been raised, I'm definitely not letting go with those odds.

    I've been going over it for a while now (I'm sure I spent last xmas eve analysing poker hands too!) and think I made a big mistake not betting the flop and defining the hand but I was expecting a cb from the button. The turn was good and bad, i made the straight but it opened up a few more hands that had me dead. I was very wary of KQ, AQ, KK, QQ or AA and thought with 4 others in the hand I was in big trouble so went for the passive play. Again I probably should've gone for a raise to see where i was at.

    Fold preflop. I would probably call this river.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.
