    What's the play here, guys? After a check raise here by him, I wasnt sure if I should have been able to lay down top pair, with a decent kicker. Could he have A Q? Q J? Maybe a set, or a nice draw? It's hard to put him on A Q because of his play pre-flop, and I think he would have raisde pre, or slow played on the flop with Q Q and J J. He could have 7 7, but wouldnt he play it slow on the flop too? With that in mind, I put him on somewhat of a draw...Or he could have Q rag or a J and try to take it away from me. So do I shove here, just call and see what progresses, or lay it down and wait for a better spot?

    EDIT: BTW, it was a 3R, not a regular 3$ MTT.

    Kind of tough to put him on anything since he is in for free. Sure he could have a draw. But he'll do that same thing with two pair all the time. With the Q and J out there its likely to have hit you and he probably knows that. If has something like J 7 he makes that same play and if has K 10 of clubs he'd probably do that as well. His preflop play wasnt anything. He checked his blind and the only thing you can deduce from that is that he likely doesnt have A Q...but he might anyways.

    First off, if you are going to play KQ you have to raise it.. no limps... never EVER limp into an unraised pot, if it comes to you raise, it gives you control of the pot.

    But since we DID limp then

    Freezeout: Fold
    REBUY: PUSH
