  2. I'm not folding in this tourney, but you're probably going to be beat a significant % of the time here.

    I probably play it exactly the same way you did and call river b/c idiots have AJ and all kinds of other ridiculous shit here @ this level, this early.
  3. I def. like leading out on flop here for 175 ish, you want to find out where you're at in the hand. Plus, you'll be getting value if you hit your flush and it will disguise your hand as in a $3 most ppl won't think you'd lead a draw on this board. As played I check the river to induce a bluff/bet from someone with just a jack/lose a smaller pot in case someone has the boat and call a bet from one opponent and fold if the pot is bet and raised in front of you. Pretty sick hand imo. But this is a $3 and there will be better opportunities against these players.
    Edit: As played I fold on the river, you could beat one opponents' holding but its highly unlikely you can beat both, run better

    Agree 100%. A KQ straight isn't out of the question either.
