TT early as chip leader (Party $55)
I had just doubled my stack with AA against 55 PF against the raiser, so he is loose. Should I take more advantage of my stack size to play at least a little looser? I'm thinking, in early levels, being big stack means I don't go too crazy but can stand to steal more in SB, UTG, and CO, and I can play more drawing hands (Axs, suited connectors) in cheap flops. Is this on par?

Did you fold? Did the converter work right?
I would have RRed him to about t400; if he pushes back on me, i quickly call. |

Yes, I did fold. I appears when your fold is part of a group, the converter doesn't separate it and state "Hero folds" explicitly.

Why would you fold 10s here? I love seeing 10s after i just had a big hand.

Re: TT early as chip leader (Party $55)
did you fold or did you make that awefull bet on the flop
cuz whoever did that need to be reraised. when someone makes a raise that size i picture them as a naked gay guy running around on the street crying out attention. |

Re: TT early as chip leader (Party $55)
My fold was along the lines of only calling cheaply with 22-JJ in the first 3 levels, which is why I was questioning if such thinking was less valid when you aren't as shortstacked as with your initial 1000 chips. If that is the case, to a degree, what hands with this stack do you continue to call cheaply hoping for a set? Do you lower it to 22-88?

Re: TT early as chip leader (Party $55)
I see where the confusion is. I am Hero, not MP3. I folded Preflop. So along those lines, to reword my point:
In level 1 first hand, I do not raise nor reraise preflop. My question is aimed at asking whether my stack size warrants that I increase the range of hands that I'm willing to raise or even reraise with. Usually I use 22-JJ as "aim for a set on a cheap flop", so with my current stack, should I reduce that to 22-88 perhaps and play more aggressively with 99+? |

[/ QUOTE ] Raise your reraising standards with a stack like yours in certain situations. You said the UTG just lost to you with 55 against AA. He miniraised, I think 10s are a good hand to reraise him with and try to get him to reraise you all in preflop, I think you would be a favorite. |
