Been busy for a while, so I haven't played too many multitables. Here's a hand from a recent "200 full tilt point" freeroll. Note that the tournament has only one prize - first - which is a $75 tournament token.Early in the tournament, blinds are 25/50, I'm a bit short stacked with 1150 chips. Dealt Q 10 in MP, call along with 6 others. Flop: 8 9 J . UTG bets 300, the size of the pot. Do I all-in, fold, or call and look for a heart on the turn (and push then?). I think the single prize of this tournament led me to push all in at this point with the straight, but I'm not sure if it was the right play given that if I folded I'd still have a healthy stack. Thoughts?

No, I don't like itEven in a tournament where only first is paid.You're going to get at LEAST a call or two. If the ace is out there, it's an automatic call.There was no preflop raise, so any combination of hearts could be out there.There's got to be a better spot, let the straight go here
