Yeah I play bad

Re: Fold or no?
 

Eh, I think its fine tbh. After the second guy cold calls, which demonstrates more strength than the initial raise, very unlikely your hand is good.

Re: Fold or no?
 

Well being that it is a 3 dollar tournament, u could probably call.

Re: Fold or no?
 

DEFINITELY raise more than 4x preflop. Stacks are relatively big, so you are inviting people in to outdraw you here. I make it like 750 or a bit more. The hand becomes easier to play post-flop, because you can force players to either commit or fold on the flop with a good-sized bet.

As played, again, the flop bet should be bigger. Nobody is going to fold any kind of a draw to a less-than-half pot sized bet.

Re: Fold or no?
 

I raise more preflop, probably 600. I'm going to be out of position on the flop so I want to make sure I clear the field some.

Then I bet about 3/4 or more on the flop.

As played I can't fault the fold, but I can't say that I do it. Your turn bet looks so weak. 600 into 3100? What was your thought here? Why not just check?

Re: Fold or no?
 

because the buyin is a joke, you call.

If that's higher stakes, the fold is absolutely fine.
