how i played

How good playing this situation. http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/18301252_010EFC6F4E

Me I would have folded when I had three people all in before it came to you. When I see that many people go all in or call I figure out that I would have folded because with that hand KQ suited I would figure that two other people has a packet pair or you are sharing a Q or K.it be hard to win.

fold , without hesitation preflop

it was half of your chips you called ,4 players called as well, it was not worth the risk ,many hands was better than yours ,you was already chip leader you could wait for a better chance ,i think you should folded it preflop..i would called only with players on really smaller stack than mine ...on the flop you was good the funny thing is the winner shove with 45 ... good luck to your next game

its sad to admit but, i would have called too.

gotta go with everyone else this is an easy fold with little thought -im more interested in knowing your thoughts on why you played it this way

This was my exact thought. SB, a massive UTG All-in and two calls, and you put half your stack in the middle. What went through your mind that made you call this?

Not criticizing, more interested in your thought process here especially when the others called.

very minus call we have a big stack of why we play well in the early stages of the tournament in the distance, we will only lose a lot of chips.

I think in a high level tournement, this should be an easy fold but in that tourney i think you shouldnt worry about it too much though. The fish UTG+1 makes it look like a very bad decision. In the 0.11$ rebuys, there are alot of maniacs playing so i can understand your decision.

It's an 11 cent tourney. Call every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I sometimes have this attitude. But it does conflict with my opinion that the stakes shouldn't effect your play!

Unless you have a read on the player you should fold after the first all in. Why are you risking half your stack on KQ? I can't really think of a stage of the tournament where this is a good call. The only reason is if it is a bounty and those bounties are proportionally huge to the buyin. When you start playing black chip bounties then you can make a case to knock out 3 players and you still have chips. But honestly I prefer that move with T9s than KQ as you are so often crushed (as was the case here against AQ).

KQs had to fold. These hands cal with AA, KK maybe AK

As tempting as it is...

Here, I think you have to find a fold. With that many players in the pot you are definitely going to have to hit a card and maybe two.
