Re: $5+1: What to do with these people.

So, even though I may have the best hand pre-flop, you believe this is an incorrect call because of the fear of over cards coupled with a continuation bet?

The fact that your hand is the best hand preflop has virtually no meaning unless you get all the money in preflop, which you don't want at this stage of the tournament. You are paying over 1/10th of your stack here preflop, and you need virtually a perfect flop to continue with the hand. The majority of the time the flop will contain at least one overcard, and your opponent(s) will bet often, whether he has hit the flop or not, and you will need to drop the hand. Furthermore, at the 5+1s you can expect more preflop callers behind you because opponents are loose as hell. Which means that almost all of the flops with an overcard will hit somebody. So you are stuck playing your TT for set value, and you can't call a big raise preflop on that basis.
