Ah yea, sorry about that.

Absolutely none, this is like 4 or 5th hand of the tournament.

MP3 minraises preflop, then goes all in on the flop. He seems like he's not a very good player, but it wouldn't suprise me to see a pair higher than 10's here, and just playing them badly.

I'd fold and keep an eye on him, he is probably a chip donator in the longrun, but I dunno if I'd take my chances here.

I think you can get away with a smaller bet of 100 here on the flop. I think it's a good fold though after the push without any reads.

On a side note I think he played this hand horribly. I'm not sure what he's min raising with after 2 limps. Lots of donks play their big hands like this but lots of donks also think AK is good when it misses the flop. Even if he has AA here with all those limps a push is a bad move.

I'd look for a better spot to take his chips when he misplays his hands like this.

Yup. This early in the tournament, it's the kind of hand that will pay you T120 or less when it works out -- and give you all kinds of chances to bust out when it doesn't.

It's really not strong enough to stand up to a big preflop raise. Or a big postflop raise. Wait until Level 5 or beyond -- when this becomes a much more useful hand for attacking the blinds, etc.

You are getting 8 or 9 to 1 odds here, unless you are an idiot, I think you can take a flop here and rely on your post-flop skill to get you out of tough situations.

Im talking bout the call of the min-raise, tho. Before that is a fold.

They are all talking about folding before making the first call if I'm not mistaken.
