Very early in the Empire 30/3. I felt completely handcuffed in this hand. Interested in comments.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed)

I will preface this comment by saying I looked at the results, but I don't think I am being results oriented.

I could see the weak bet by MP2 is a flush draw or a weak ace. The min-raise by MP3 is probably an ace. It is unlikely either of them have a set as AA and maybe TT would be raised pre-flop and since you have a T6 that further reduces the likelihood of a player having 66 or TT. With the same reasoning I doubt you would be up against A6 or AT. I think your hand is good.

I probably would have check-raised all-in with this hand on the flop. Or, with the flush draw on board, a pot-size or higher bet to open on the flop. But either way this is definitely a hand to get all your money in with on the flop.
