All In with a strong TJs draw....

[pokerstudAA]

Any problems with the way I played this hand? I had built up an average+ stack and was about 40-45 minture into the tourney.

Preflop it is multiway - pretty standard call. On the flop I wanted to get all the money I could in on the flop with 13 outs to the best hand. With mutliway action I could not resist....

Should I smoothcall the flop and try to catch cheaply on the turn? I know that I am likely getting action on any reraise....

Will playing strong draws this fast increse variance? No one likes goin BUSTO on a draw but what other lines should I consider?

Its never bad to get it all in 3 ways on the flop with a SF draw IMO.
