No way. Good push, you're too short on chips to fold this.

I don't like the MP1 raise...so yes I'd fold. But I'd like to hear your(or anyones) reasoning for the push.

I can't put him on AK based on the preflop action, but his play could be a weak steal attempt with a weaker king or a flushdraw. Sure he might be sitting with two pair or a set but his play doesn't seem like it. That in combination with all the chips already in the middle make this a decent push IMO.

If I have 300 chips more I probably could let this one go though.

his raise is less than 1/3 pot. i really don't know what to make of that. unfortunately it's early on.

i push. if he's got a set (or two pair?) fire up another.

just curious... results?

I'll post them later. I find that the advice get better if people don't know how the hand ended.

I fold KQs until L3-4... especially to a raise in front of me... it is often 2nd best hand, especially early in a tourney.

There were three limpers before me. The minraise came after I called. I like KQs and if I am getting a good enough price to see a flop with it I don't mind.

The problem, imo, is that KQs is a drawing hand. What flop are you going to be happy putting all your chips in with? Unless you flop a straight or a flush or 2 pair there's a good chance you'll lose a lot of chips to a better hand with this many players. In addition there's many people to act behind you.

That's why I prefer folding at this early level. I only limp with pairs (and I'm experimenting limping with AK in this situation).
