Early in a $15 Stars Turbo. Blinds are 25/50. I have about 1500 chips.
I am dealt KTo in the BB. 3 limp into the pot. I check.
The flop comes AcKcTh. I am the first to bet. I bet 150 chips (pot is 200).
Two limpers fold, then one limper raises my bet to 300.
I didn't want to call the bet with all the draws on the board. I certainly didn't want to fold 2 pair. So I went all-in. Limper turns over QJ, and I'm out of the tournament.
I thought it would be weak to fold 2 pair, but now that I think about it, perhaps I should have. The only hands I can think of where a person would raise like that have me beat (2 pair with Aces, 3 of a kind, straight).
