I don't have the hand history for this, so bear with me...
2-table NL SNG on Stars. Blinds are 15/30, and there really hasn't been much action. Stacks are fairly even, although I have the second largest at my table I think. I get dealt QJo in the SB. No raise to me, several limpers, so I complete. BB checks. Flop comes rainbow, Q high, 2 rags. I check, there is a BB bet in middle position, and a minimum raise. I call, three of us to the turn. Turn is an A. I check, and there are checks around. River is a 7. No pair on the board, no flush/straight possibilities. I bet 200 into a pot of about 400.
I hate playing QJ out of position. But when there were several limpers, I knew I had to complete. Now I have top pair, third kicker. But with this many people in, I was afraid of being dominated by...well I'm not sure anymore.
OK, I'm rambling. How would you play this hand? I'll format it better on the bottom...
