Low limit ($100 buy-in, $100 rebuy) tournament. Third round before the first break and the add-on, I have the chip lead at my table (about $2200) and A-10 spades in the hijack position. Most stacks about $800 at this point. Loose passive table. 3 limp in for $80 in front of me.
Should I take advantage of my big stack and raise here, or should I just call and try to hit a flop? My sense is that a raise to $500 would have had a good chance of winning the pot. There were, of course, 4 players yet to act behind me.
I limped along and ended up folding to a bet in front of me when the flop came three small cards. I'm wondering if I should be applying pressure with a big stack in these situations.
