fold pre IMO
as played, w/ top pair low kicker - the only option left on the flop is push/fold
IMO its either fold pre or Shove pre.
What? Of course not! More than enough wiggle room.
Meh facing an utg 3x open and a call from utg +1. K10suited will put you in dastardly positions. Hero has an M<10. He doesnt have enough chips to play pot control to protect his stack. He is also easily dominated by UTG+1s range.
I dont think you can "play" this hand with this short of a stack at this blind level in the tournament. Steal or Fold here.
Of course you can't run a three-street bluff but 24 blinds is easily enough to see a flop from the BB against a 3x. The value of KTs grows once it gets multi-way. It's got great board coverage - many straight draws, flush draws, combo draws and two pairs that you can get it in with. And you're easily getting the right price pre to hit one of those hands.
KTo I could see merit for folding, but closing the action with KTs here I don't see any other option than call.
Flat pre is fine, check/shove flop if you feel you're ahead, otherwise just let it go.
As played, turn call off is pretty thin. You really don't beat a lot of hands here when villain shows so much strength, I'm folding.
