Trouble Hands

Recently I played an interesting hand at a fairly small tournament. There were about seventy players, only a few of them were any good. It was a timid table with players limping all the time and playing mediocre hands. The blinds were 50/100 at the second level, with chip stacks starting at 5000.
I picked up KJ in middle position. There had been a few limpers before me but since I knew these players would easily dispatch of their hands I decided my KJ was good enough to play it and thus I raised it to 300, the standard three times the big blind.
