i was prepared to call an all in there, but what threw me off was the 2nd all in.. he saw the first guy go all in and still chose to call him, which leads me to believe im not good a majority of the time.. is it still a no brainer?

It depends on your read of UTG. Has he been tight or a loose donk? Why would he limp for 1/5th his stack from UTG knowing there's a big possibility of being raised? Is this the first time he's limped at this level, or the level before, etc? I am not bothered about calling the BB's push, but the UTG one I think I am behind here. I would check this flop to be honest or bet 2/3rd of it, 400 seems a bit too much.

UTG was ok, he was semi tight, would limp in once in a while and when he hit his hand he would insta push every time.. hadnt seen him do anything sneaky up to this point but i guess that doesnt mean he is incapable of it.

But has he been limping at the 50/100 and 75/150 level even though it is a big chunk of his stack? That's the key, rather than limping for 50 when he has 600 odd, for instance (even though this also is not a good play, it's less so than the former)

400 is 2/3rds...

I think OP played the hand well. And his analysis is pretty right on.

Calling in the SB is fine with KJ...you'd be crazy not to.

Betting out is fine too...I might check here as well.

Once you've bet out and have such good odds to call, even if you are behind, you most likely still have outs...not sure if they cover the odds the pot is laying you, but, I would regrettably call here as well knowing im a loser at this point. But hey, 1 in 4 times Ive seen the two allins with crap. say AK and 77 or something....so its not SO unlikely that you even have the worst hand...and if you do, you most certainly have outs.

I think you played that fine, You almost have to call the all in at the end. Top pair with a K kicker is strong enough IMO to make this call, especially at the 10's.
