PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
$10+1 (no reads)

Hero (t1390)
UTG (t2230)
MP (t2805)
CO (t1880)
Button (t2280)
SB (t2915)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t300) T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero?</font>

My first instinct is to push.

I fold this instantly. I rarely chase draws on the early levels.

This isn't early, but I fold as well. Woops, misread your hand, straight draw is better than bottom pair by far. Still, getting called would suck, and you've got no overs.

Try not to get too aggressive against the big stack in a 10+1 early, they usually get that stack by calling too much. All pairs and flush draws (and the higher straight draw) are well ahead of you, and if he'll call with you with all of them you're in trouble. You're not hurting for chips yet, you can let this one go.

Also, I'm not the forum police or anything, but it seems that if you post seven or eight new threads at once, it'll make it hard for other threads to get responses. It could be that all of yours just ended up on the front page at once by chance though. Just something to think about.

I hear you on this. I am at work with some down time right now so I am posting my hands from last night I had questions about. If this is a serious issue people have then I will try to scale back my postings.

Not a serious issue with me, I rarely post anymore, and I doubt anyone else has a problem. Just mentioning it.

loose if you want you could find similar hands you have questions on and put them in the same post.
