Fold pre > Bet/fold > xc flop

Thanks Raphael. I can see argument for folding pre, but I don't think raising is mistake in a turbo where you have good stack pressure versus a short stack who is most likely gonna jam or fold. I feel bet fold is best too.

Tough to answer the question for an "optimal" line. Why did you play the hand the way you did? Are there any specific reads that would help here (tight players behind you etc.)?

If not I dont mind opening QThh here from this position. I dont know if you have a balanced range here when checking the flop. My best guess would be that it is tough to balance and that you turned your hand face up. As played pf I would just bet flop and turn big to make sure I realize my equity and take advantage of any fold equity that might be left.
