Was I gonna get away from this.
Heres another hand for discussion. I just love adding to the zillions of posts like this 
$20 Tourney - Final Table 8 Players remaining I am 3 in chips with about 19,000 chips, everyone else is in the 2,000 to 10,000 range, chip leader is like 32,000
BLINDS are at 200/400
I get Ad Jd in the small blind, UTG limps and everyone else folds.
I tend to get scared in this part of the tourney as short stacks usually have one move. I still bump it to 1,200 preflop.
Big Blind player has about 8,000 in chips, and calls
UTG Calls
the Flop comes down Qh 4s Js,
I bet out 1,200 figuring that if QJ, AQ, KQ or anything of that sort is there they will re-raise and QT or T9 will call. I also figure that if the Ace of spades is out there I may call.
Turn is Ah, I bet out 2,000 signaling to my opponents (GTFO - Get the F*ck Out), both players call me.
River is 6h, I bet out 2,000, Big Blind Jumps all in (1,600 more), UTG calls, I call.
I show two pair, bb shows Kh8h, UTG folds.
I bust out 5th a few hands later.
HOW DO I GET AWAY FROM THESE HANDS????

Pre-flop, fine. Flop, fine.
Turn, the pot is now big enough, your hand good enough, and the board scary enough, to make simply moving all-in the superior play.
As the hand actually progressed, I would move all-in on the river. Getting away from the hand at this point is absurd.

I didn't make a large raise on the flop because I was afraid of hands like AQ, KQ, QJ making a move on me.
I realize now that I should have gone all in on the turn but I guess thats just something I will have to work on ...
Thanks for the input guys, actually, the 5th place earned me $150.00 so I wasn't too mad.
