Your turn bet looks enough like a steal attempt that I do not think you can (or want to) fold here.

Edit: Welcome to the forum!

Here's more info, just figured out the converter.. After checking the HH, my initial recollection was a bit off.

I had hoped to get a little more value than the blinds by checking,maybe that's a poor move, but I'm pretty inexperienced, have only played a few MTT's so far.. But I like what I've seen.. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I push that pre-flop every time with their stack sizes and the money in the pot.

If I hadn't done that, I'd be annoyed with myself, and bet the flop, ready to call a push from limper one for sure, probably not limper two.

I don't know what I'd do on the turn, I'd simply never have got there like this. Well, I'd call but I'd be pretty sore at this point.

Yeah, I would be too.

Shove PF, call turn anyway, it's not always a set or QJ. This spot sucks too.

Folding's OK too, but I wouldn't do it in a $26. If you think you're beat... Probably not, but, hey, use the remaining 9.9k properly, will ya? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
