I don't like it at all. Why throw your tournament away on this junk?

It is not too weak to check fold?

Push on the flop. Folding is a distant second. Betting the pot was the worst thing to do.

The pot is a quarter of his stack. What's wrong with pushing on the flop?

QFT. 5-way pot, odds are quite good someone has him beat.

Betting the pot is much worse than pushing here, but I think check/folding is the way to go.

Actually, if you REALLY wanted to play this flop, I might check/raise all-in vs. a late position wuss better who could be making the move with 2nd pair or a flush draw. I still check/fold vs. an early position bettor though.

I'm just trying to encourage my inner LAG and check/raising all-in seems reckless enough to do it.
