Soaring with American Airlines

Early, real early...3rd hand of the 4:00 PM $3 tourney on PokerStars. Get aces UTG. Raise it up, two callers. Pot it on the flop. Is this a good push on the turn, should I check here? No reads.

Bet smaller on the flop

Bet smaller on the turn

Overbets with 1/ pair usually suck cause the dont get call by a worse hand too often.

slow down, grasshoppa

I make a small bet on the flop or check-call. Early on, you want to maximize the chance of you winning the pot, but you also want to minimize the chance of going broke. You drastically overplayed this IMO.
