Default Re: Pot Limit Rebuy Tournament in Edinburgh, Scotland - Advice needed

Thanks for the advice guys.

Just to clarify something, the reason why when I was in a pot, I was raising, was because I was rarely dealt a hand that was not either an obvious fold or an obvious raise, and when I was dealt a marginal hand I was often in early position. I did occasionally get a chance to limp in late position with hands like A-x suited, and took the chance whenever it arose. But this was not often.

Regarding the pot sized bet, I took to betting the size of the pot preflop in order to knock out some player who might hold marginal hands. I felt this was important with hands like K-J and 10-10 because they're vulnerable against large fields of players, and there were family pots quite often. The purpose of my raise was to both protect my hand and build the pot in the hopes that the flop would fit.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this, or other insights into PL Holdem?

Alex
