An easy PF fold despite limpers or bad play post flop with QTs

[Meatmaw]

Did I play this QTs too weakly? Along for the ride with so many limpers, I wasn't sure how to play the JT3 flop, and how to react to the caller.

I insta-fold this hand, 'despite limpers'. I also play Party where stacks aren't so deep. Still though, I think this is one of those hands that's going to get your in more trouble than not.

After this many limpers it's a fine call as long as you know how to play it postflop. Don't bet the flop. With 5 other people, you really think you have the best hand here? Just check and play the turn from there.

Your play on this hand will depend on what site you are playing on and what stage of the tournament you are at. If this is Party where you only start with 800 chips, then this is an instant fold for me. If it is stars where you start with 1500 chips, then you have a bit more room.

Preflop, the pot is 135 when you must make your decision. The pot is offering you 4.5 - 1 odds. I don't think that is good enough to call with your hand. If you have QJs or KQs, then I would call. To call with your hand, I think you need bigger odds of say 6 or 7 - 1. What are you looking to hit here on the flop. Middle pair decent kicker is not it. On the flop early in the tournament with so many callers, I think you need two diamonds, two 10s, two Qs, or a draw to an open ended straight to play on the flop. I check the flop when I only get middle pair decent kicker looking to check fold.

Later on in the tournament, then I think you can play this hand differently. In late position, you could pop it 3 BB preflop looking to steal. You could even go all in looking to steal if you were a bit short stacked.
