TT in EP, lvl 1 ($22)

Still a bit hazy on playing the high/mid pairs early and oop, what about the turn call? I bet 200 hoping to get a free showdown...I was pretty sure I was beat(monsters under the bed?)

Comments please.

Preflop is fine. On the flop I'd probably raise a bit more, like 175. I put him all in on the turn every day. He will show you garbage most of the time. If he has you beat, you just play another tourney.

Put the saddle on that donkey.

Out of curiosity, where did you finish?

I think I got second due to a suckout, couple of suckouts got me there though. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
