Re: AA in early stages of a STT
I would probably make it t60 at level 1. I think 10xBB is major overkill.

Re: AA in early stages of a STT
Call and hope someone else bets. Just remember if it goes unraised, you have to tread very carefully postflop. I tend to only do this if I know there are a couple of aggressive players behind me.
In this example it looks to me like your 3x raise got you heads up so these seems like a bad example. |

Re: AA in early stages of a STT
my standard play on the flop would be to push right away, unless he has one of the few hands that beats you (KK/QQ/99/QT) he has a very tough decision to make. don't let him draw out on you.

Re: AA in early stages of a STT
Yeah, in a party SNG im poppin up to at least t70 level 1. Im not familiar with paradise, but anything above t50 sounds like a good plan. Also, i like a fold post flop in this situation, but it really depends on the buy in. BTW, Id call this instantly in the 33s and down at PP.

[/ QUOTE ] I think pushing is a bit extreme. You are risking 1100 chips to win 75. You are behind trips, the straight, 2 pair, and some combo hands draw hands(Qd Jd, Jd Td, 8d td). AA is a 4:1 favorite preflop. At this point of the hand you could be drawing to runner-runner. Other than AK I don't see what hand you are more than a ~3:2 favorite against. I think you are ahead here most of the time. I think it might cost you too much to find out. |

Re: AA in early stages of a STT
For the record, I called. He had Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Flopped a straight. I figured he had hit his pair of kings or something, as many of the players in these low limit tourney's will push immediately with top pair. Anyway, I guess I'll try slightly larger raises in early stages from now on.
