Sucks to lose in the first hand of a tourney, and with such a good starting hand. But there was no way to play the hand differently. Multiway a lot can happen, and in this hand it did happen.

You were the first to push, and you couldn't expect all the players to call your all-in here. If you had 4 players all-in by the time you had to make your decision, only then could you contemplate to fold the kings. So, nice hand, next tourney

Those tings happen most of the time and you cannot do anything about it but just hope that the swing disappears and that next time the law of statistics is with you as you are favorite to win the hand ! Anyway good luck at the tables mate and hope you get better luck against those fishes , but in a sense you should be happy and we all should if we have fish who win hands like that because in the long term they will lose money if they get in as an underdog, cheers anyway hope QPR win today on another note ;D

I must have played 50 of just these tournaments and I had never seen anything like that. I had never seen a 5 way all in on the first hand on a real money event, not even in the 2c hyper turbos..
