Still looking to fix my numerous leaks early on in tournaments....
6th or 7th hand of tourney, 10/20 blinds, I'm at T1480 after paying and folding my BB last hand.
So far, the table is a limpfest preflop, with a decent amount of action postflop (already a couple of big pots broke out).
I pick up 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif in the small blind.
6 limpers, I complete, BB checks. Pot: T160
Flop: 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif5 /images/graemlins/spade.gifK /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
I check, checked around
Turn: 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
I bet T80, 5 folds, 6th player raises the minimum to T160, I fold
Boring hand I realize...just wanted some thoughts here, since I feel clueless early in tourneys. Am I leaking chips with a bet like this, or is it worth it this early to try to build my stack?
