Hero ?

I'm not exactly a winning player but I would like to take a stab at this and see how my answer compares to others.

I don't see how AT or 9T could call the flop. KQ, KJ, or a set are the only things that beat you here. You don't want to give odds to chase a flush or straight so any decent bet here would pretty much commit you to the pot so I say shove it.

Flop - I'd lead stronger, 550-600 seems good. Your hand should be good but theres 3 opps and you need to give bad odds to drawing hands

Turn - With MP2 only having about 1000 left I don't think you can ever fold. Shove turn, you get a good amount of calls from KT, JT and still have outs against KQ/KJ (AT not likely imo)

I think you need to lead out for 600 on the flop although I wouldn't even hate a push here. Better players may disagree with that though

+1 to this, that is exactly how I would have played it. At a $11 tourney TPTK is very often the nuts.

Does this look about right:

3,784 games 0.012 secs 315,333 games/sec

Board: Ks Qc Js 7d
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 48.322% 43.42% 04.90% 1643 185.50 { AdKc }
Hand 1: 51.678% 46.78% 04.90% 1770 185.50 { QQ-TT, 77, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KTo+, QJo }


Maybe I'm just making this more complicated than it needs to be, just trying to find a new angle.
