Re: Early in touraments
Read Tournament Holdem for Advanced Players (or something like that) by Sklansky, then read Harrington on Hold Em volume 1. Then play some more hands.

Re: Weak ace in the blind
I think the guy has stones to make that kind of move. He also apparently reads you well.

Re: Weak ace in the blind

Re: Darden vs Juanda Bad Beat (no emotion hand)
Amen, that was a horrific beat, and Harmon also handled it pretty well. Amazingly, her opponent turned into an ass when he hit acting like he might get knocked out with the stone cold nuts.

Re: RESULTS
At least if you bet the flop, you have a better idea of where you stand rather than checking the flop and betting the turn. Since you showed weakness on the flop after raising preflop, it's fairly...

Re: AQ hand - is this standard?
