I agree that the turn bet was the worst thing about this hand. However, Tripdad suggested that because of the position and the relative size of the blinds to stack (M), that it's not worth playing AJs from an early position here. I do agree with him, but perhaps this _IS_ too tight. I really don't know. Obviously Raptor has had some great MTT success.

What do you do if the AJ misses the board completely?

I've read and reread the FAQ about exploiting edges and building a stack, I find that it's hard to incorporate the LAG style being a naturally TAG player. Maybe I have to start a new thread or just read and experiment, but I'd like to know if tight early can still win tourneys.

I apologize if this got off subject.
