Default Re: TPTK early in the PS $500k

I'm obviously not folding on this flop until I see a lot more action, so there's two lines that I'd take: 1) the gamblooor option, or 2) the safe/aggressive option.

with 1) i'm calling, intending to raise any turn bet (even a K or Q turn). I think this gets the most value out of bluffs, mid-pocket pairs, middle pair, etc.

with 2) i'm raising here, hoping to take it down because i'm not dying to see a K/Q/T/8 turn. I'd probably raise it to somewhere around 500.

I sort of mix it up with these lines.

Oh and if I raise and get reraised on the flop, I'm almost always flat-calling and calling a turn push.

Someone should feel perfectly willing to come along and tell me these lines are terrible. I'm used to playing in PP tourneys, which have much shallower stacks and less room to manuever. That probably changes the dynamic a bit. But in the tourneys I play, with no reraise preflop, I can't see not getting broke here (or doubling up).
