Re: Re-raising all-in with AQo -- too LAG?
That depends upon the stage of the tourney.
Early, I'd lay AK down...Later, if I was less than average or short stacked, I'd call; If I was a big stack, I'd lay it down again. Tournaments are...

Re: Re-raising all-in with AQo -- too LAG?
I like this play at this junction of the tourney. It's a late position raise which opens up the possibility of many hands he could hold; in addition, he could be attempting to fold the limpers and...

Re: TOURNAMENT HAND ANALYSIS
1) From the button, call...you still have a chance to recover if you miss the flop. Also, moving in here is not a bad play if you think you can fold him. KTs in a 6-handed game is not that bad of...

Re: What Adjustments do I make for this Tourney?
Ok, I looked at the listing of hands that Karlson produced.
You're saying that the non-premium hands listed toward the top of that list are the ones I should begin to push in the mid to late...

Re: Multi Table Tournament Advice Please?
How many chips the other guys have should have nothing to do with how you play, unless they're in the pot with you.
I target a 'comfort zone' which is 7x the combined blinds. When I get down to...

I also thought the all-in call was a poor call. If I were going to push in here, I would have initiated it, not called it...he'd have been wondering about trip aces then and...

Re: What Adjustments do I make for this Tourney?
When I get chips early, I become more aggressive, however, I still find that in later stages I become short-stacked.
I do use the semi-bluff and the steal raise throughout the tourney, however, I...
