Hand One from the Monkeyfest (aka. $3.00 rebuy)

[Sam T.]

Hi all,

I played about 18 hours in Saturday's $10k guaranteed, and still didn't get very deep in the money, but I'd like to post a few hands, and see what y'all think. I need to remember how little folding equity you have in these things.

Hand one:

MP2 (t35392)
MP3 (t2818)

Hero (t12650)
SB (t15999)
BB (t25781)

Initially I put this guy on a draw of some sort, though in this thing it can be hard to tell. Anyone give up on the turn? What is your move on the river?
