KQ early, somebody flame me

IMHO, you can play this two ways.

1. Since it is early in the tourney and you are already in the pot for t10 and it will only cost you t35 more, you could call due to the 4.4 to 1 pot odds that are being offered.

I would not have check raised. I would have bet about half the pot (t100), to help define my hand. If someone comes over the top of me or/and someone else pushes, as in this example, I would let the pot go.

I will give one of these two credit for having AA, AK, KK, or QQ all of which have me dominated.

It is still early in tourney, I still have plenty of chips in realion to the blinds.

2. You are facing a raise and two more that cold called in front of you. You have a classic trap hand (KQ) and will be out of position on every round of betting. Fold preflop.
