    I'd personally be temtped to check/fold that flop as it doesn't realistically hit much of your UTG raising range, if it was one opponant maybe more inclined but two I'd play it slower.

    Turn is great for you as you surely have the best hand now, the bet you make is very strong and imo means you have to snap off any shove as bet/folding a 3rd of your stack is bad.

    This tourny yesterday was honestly worse standard than a freeroll. I've never seen anything like it.

    This hand.....

    I agree with D/S ^^. I wouldn't be c betting into multiple opponents, especially as this was the very first hand. If you had waited to have a look at the players, you would have known they just don't fold anything.

    I'd fold pre too in this tourny.

    Tough spot, now you've put nearly half your stack in I think you have to call and hope.

    Personally I'd check-fold that flop OOP in a 4-way pot. You can't win this tournament in the first hand, but you can easily lose it. Getting carried away with top pair/medium kicker in a level 1 4-way pot is going to backfire more often than not.

    I'd fold pre, wouldnt recommend playing QJ suited utg first 10 mins of a tourney

    post flop again i would check/fold, maybe when we hit check/call, As played u might aswell call hope he has flush draw but dont like the way u played it at all mate
