Default Re: TT first hand PUSH !

This is terrible. 90% of the time you'll pick up the 25 chip blinds. 9% of the time you'll get called by a hand better than yours. And 1% of the time you'll find an idiot like you did.

And your point is ??
I either bust out and start a new tourney and have a second chance to get a decent return on my money as I have almost no time invested. Or I double up and have twice the chance of winning this one. So therefore even a slight chance that they call with worse hands makes this a positive EV move.

The first couple hands are a special opportunity. Lots of maniac moves before the feeling that "time is invested and we should play seriously" mood sets in.

I think we should consider the first few hands an opportunity for some special strategy. By hand #5 unless I am seeing lots of madness I would NEVER try this. Hand #1 is different.

Take a look at your hand histories.. the first orbit is idiot land.
