First round $215 hand

[Morbo]

I usually play insanely tight in the starting rounds but I found this hand interesting:

I would rather check raise all in on the turn then call and then push the river.

Could you explain the river bet? I guess you're representing a flush, unless you think your hand is good. Isn't it too risky that Villain AXc?

[Morbo]

He would definately raise the flop with Ax /images/graemlins/club.gif

Why would he definitely do that? Would you raise preflop with A7c?

If you think you're beat by a higher pp and you're just trying to make a play, I think the check raise all-in on the turn is a better idea. The river still works, for a small range of hands that he might have. Personally, I would not have made this kind of play so early in the tournament.
