always bet nuts?
 

30p tourney 16 left 1500 starting chips.
I have 2700 - below average - two 7000 stacks already at table
blinds 50-100
UTG limps
I call (QcJc)
2 more limpers then button raises 100 sb folds bb calls everyone else calls
5 players - pot 1100
flops 10h Ks Ah
UTG checks
I bet 1100 next player all in (have me covered) BB all in also - both have me covered I call
first raiser 10 10 - BB flush draw
the trip 10s fill up.
MY QUESTION:
did i play it wrong - I knew I had flopped the nuts but with the texture of the board and the number of players I knew it was very likely I would get out drawn - would I have been better to check and try and keep the pot small?

you should quit poker entirely until you realize what a stupid question this is.

you are terrible on many levels.

Bully - in a cash game i agree it is a stupid question - but survival is important in tournaments more than the correct maths play. It was very likely i would be outdrawn.

You are just flat wrong. Survival is over-rated.

lol

how am i wrong - i just said survival is important. I'd rather keep my chips for an 80-20 situation than one where i probably have a 40-50% chance.

Dude. You don't know anything about tournament poker. Tell yourself that 50 times.

Now LISTEN.

1. You are better than 40-50% to TRIPLE UP in this hand.

2. If you can really create 80-20 situations all day long by all means do so. I'll see you on the rail b/c you blinded out. 80-20s don't come along very often. BTW, if you always pass up your "smaller" edges when you do finally win your 80-20 you will have blinded down so much you won't have won [censored].

Stop being silly. You got all your $ in with the nuts and got unluckly. Way more often you triple up and don't come around here posting nonsense questions.

summary:

never fold the nuts
never try to keep the pot small with the nuts
survival is overrated

lol whatever man - u need to chill. maybe i need to get a life for posting the question - you definitely need to get one for answering.
You are probably right - I just felt my hand wasn't getting any better and it was a bad situation to put it all in
