So, I've come along and had a look round and seen a ton of people talking about hand reviews. So I went back to a hand I played in the early stages of a $1 s&g on pokerstars and wondered what people's thoughts would be on what to do in this position.

Early in the MTT with a dangerous board, I'm cbetting to see where I may stand. Too early for any reads unless you have tracking tools with history on the other players. You still have an up and down straight draw so I wouldn't be quick to give it up if you get reraised but I'm keeping that pot pretty small.

You have an open-ended straight draw and you don't want your queen anymore. You are 5 in the end and the board has a lot of draws. If you want to continue in the hand, you have to know that you'll be all-in. There's already 1500 in the pot. If you Cbet to 750, you will have about 2k left. If you have only 1 caller, the pot will be 3k with still 2 streets to go. So, if you don't win the pot right now, your only following bet should be all-in.

So, I would CBET 750 on the flop and if the turn is a blank, move all-in.

Never min-3bet? That alone should help you avoid these spots (4 way raised pot p/f).
