Easy check. You can usually beat one but only one. I fold to any reasonable MP3 bet. P/f and post-flop are standard.

I don't know, given how draw heavy the flop is I think there are several draw/combo-draw hands they could be playing that you're still ahead of here: Ah9h, AhTh, AhQh, AT, QQ, TT. Even if one of them has 88 or 99, you can still draw to the remaining Jacks and Kings for a better full house.The other thing you have to consider is that you have them both covered, and SB only has about 500 chips left in front of him.

I think that I bet out here again on the turn - one player is probably on the flush draw which means they can't have a jack. If a player did have a jack, it'd be pretty passive of them not to raise on that draw heavy of a board unless they had J10. I shove as both players left are fairly short and any type of bet pot commits them anyways.

I think SB is probably on some kind of draw because any kind of hand which has you beat now would have lead out or C/R. If it was just SB then you could bet out for his last 490.The problem in this situation is MP3 because of position more than anything. If we check then we could be giving them both a free card for their draws. Even if MP3 does not have a draw then we are giving him the initiative and we'll be faced with calling him down OOP not really knowing where we are.It's a difficult spot and there's no 'right' play but I would be betting out I think.

I agree with GoBears, stack sizes make this an unpleasant shove i think.

what do we think of check/ fold its early in the tourney and I still have about 2k at the second blind level.

The first thing i thought was check/fold, but then i saw the stack sizes and i think it makes it a shove.If MP3 had slightly more money i'd probably go for CF.
