I think I get it in. He rarely has a three. Hope he has a FD. This is a really weird line with KT+ or overpairs.

this is tough...cause it's right in the middle. AT, KT have you beat. JT, T9 don't. And as pudge said, there's the draw. So, I'd probably shove so that JT, T9 doesn't have a chance to get away from the hand and give the FD a chance to make a bad call.

Check the flop.. you have nothing to gain by getting rr'ed. A check here and he'll get very impatient on the turn and let you know if he does have the 3, otherwise take him to valuetown.

I did too. He took a long time to raise me on the flop, I don't know if that pushed me to a fold or made it harder to fold, but he showed AT. I still didn't know if it was correct.

this is absolutely horrific advice, you cant possible think of checking a 10 behind here on the flop, then u have to worry about 12 scare cards on the turn for overs, plus flush cards. This is a must be and as said i think i like shoving here over his range.

good lay down. There are much better spots to put all your chips in then this early in the tournament. Big pots are for big hands. You don't have a big hand. Rely on your skill to carry you to the money by not making all-in plays like this.

I go with the let it go line...way too early in the Tourny with little Reward vs Risk and if he plays like this regularly, you will most likely have far better places to stack him. You only have t145 invested so far and this hand may already be beat and if not and he is a donk, you still may get outdrawn. If this were mid-high blinds, I would like the push a lot better.
