If you think this hand would get better responses in the MTT forum then say so, but I thought tournament considerations wouldn't apply, because there are no all-in or bubble considerations.

You are not a blind here? I would toss this hand without a second thought, and I think I could still toss it for a single bet.

QJJT is a speculative high hand, which means that it only has value if you can 'plant an acorn to grow a tree'. You certainly shouldn't play this pre-flop for more than 10% of your stack.

This hand would play better in the early stages of a PLO8 MTT where you've got six people limping in for 20, and if you hit the flop hard, you could easily turn an investment of 20 into a return of 500 or more.

Never ever play this hand in a cash game for three bets. And certainly don't play it in a tourney either. This is not a good starting hand.
