What do you do ?
hi_am_chris:
theres no sb or bb, both folded
AMRN:
I"m a mug who"s going busto here.
Raised preflop with KJ - what better flop could you hope for than top pair with decent kicker and a straight draw. Any decent bet here is going to commit me to the pot. Don"t want to check and give the impetus to someone else who might ask me to call for my tourney - bet the pot (or even shove it all in now [1750 into 1150 pot] as it"s all going to end up in there if I bet anyway) and put the others to a decision.
Probably a spewy way to play it, but the preflop raise with KJ out of position with these stack sizes has kind of got us into trouble (or not).
The shove may even be a value bet that gets called by hands we are beating (QJ, AK, etc). Also, we have to think an overpair would have re-raised preflop.... so the only hands that are realistically beating us here are KQ, Q8, or two pair, and even then we have outs.

Steve you really puzzle me sometimes lol. Seem so tight in some spots but want to go bust with this hand on this board?
I am deffo not leading here. Check and re-evaluate. Too much action behind and I"m folding
Swinebag:
I dont think this is a good flop for KJ. even if you hit your straight you could very likely be dead or chopping. Top pair may be good but any show of strength from an oppo will leave you hating your hand here.
Mistake was raising pre in EP with a marginal hand when it should be in the muck. I"m all for mixing up your EP raises but like Mal I"d rather do it with a sooted/unsuited connector/ one gapper.
As played, I"m in exactly the sort of spot that I didn"t want to be in....OOP with a maginal holding. TJ, 9Ts, JJ, TT, 99, AJ, QK are all possible holdings for any of our oppos.
check and re-evaluate from here for me
Mikeyboy9361:
2.5bb raise with KJo under the gun, why? Pricing anybody with anything half decent in, and with that flop any one with anything half decent could have hit. Okay me UG then I would defo not lead, I would try and keep it cheap and be prepared to call a smallish bet, but defo not getting married to this!
