Ok, so its about the mid of the tourney with about 900 people left in a free roll

I pick up pocket tens in the small blind, everyone folds except 2 people.

I raise, big blind folds, and the other 2 call

the flop is J 10 5 I flop me set.

I bet around 1/4th the pot, and the guy next to me calls.

the other guy goes all in, i push all in as well, and once again, the guy next to me calls.

one guy flips over and open ended straight draw with K Q

the other a set of 5's

im in comanding position.

The turn is a 9, so the guy with the draw catches a straight, and i have a 20 percent chance of winning that hand.

the guy with the set of 5s has a 2 percent chance.

The river was 5, so i get the side pot of about 1/3rd of what i went all in with while the guy with pocket 5's triples up and the guy with the straight gets robbed..

2 percent guys

1/50

odds are so small
