Re: too tight early in STT?
[ QUOTE ]
50+5 STT at party. first hand of the tournament, 10/15, everyone has 1000.
i am in the BB with AQo. 4 limpers, SB completes, i check.
flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (pot = 90)
SB checks, i check, 1 limper checks, MP limper bets 110, and it's folded to me. i fold.
is this overly tight? i figured with 5 others seeing the flop, the odds were not great that i was ahead, and i was either going to win a small one or lose my stack. also the slight overbet made it more difficult to make a play like c/r'ing the flop and plan on folding to a 3bet.
edited to say: i did not have a backdoor flush draw.

Why wouldn't you lead out with a bet on the flop? [ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] With top pair of A's and Q kicker, you're not behind too many hands on the flop. Obviously, there are lots of draws out there. With no PFRs, I'm discounting the likelihood of AA, AK, and JJ, which would make me want to lead out. I wouldn't go nuts like some people like to do, but I wouldn't play it this weak.
