UB 200k…2nd level…20/40 blinds…i got about 3k….3 players limp…im on button with j9…so i flick in the 40 chips (yes, i know this is marginal…but it was a soft table so i wanted to play as many hands with them as possible early on in the tourney)..big blinds makes it 120…everyone calls..so i obviously throw in the extra 80 chips…

 

flop:  Q 10 K..rainbow..so flop 2nd nut straight

 

original raiser leads for like 300…next to act calls…i make it like 950…leaving myself with 2k…original raiser shoves…next to act calls off too…and i call for my tourney life…they BOTH have AJ..lol….sooo was wondering what everyones thoughts was on this hand..could i have folded?  especially since the person 2nd to act called off his tourney life too?  wasnt sure…i really thought one had set and one had 2 pair…anyway…cooler or fold?

folding J9 avoids these spots 😀

 

also, i probably call flop – there are no cards that ruin your hand except for a paired board and i would want the sets and 2 pair hands to 100% stack off on the turn. 

 

its also a pretty big cooler

very tough to fold but folding pre would avoid this situation entirely and i never play this loose early in a major and obv thats the case with most people so  you can lay it down cause aj def. out there
