I love both these threads we differ on, the other being "AA in sb, bad flop". Both are VERY early and really illustrate the difference in playing styles. I've come to the conclusion that early on I'm not risking all my chips unless I have a really big hand. Typically in a field of say a 1000 players 500 are left after the first break. My goal is to have doubled up in the first hour, anything over that is gravy anything less and I'm firing big time coming into the second hour.

How do you plan on doubling up if you're not willing to make a call when you are ahead of most hands here? How big of an advantage do YOU need to make a call? We've talked here over and over that even the top pros cannot afford to pass up a clearly +EV situation.

With the hero taking the initiative pre-flop, you'd expect a set, straight, or two pair to check-raise. This is more often than not a flush draw, overpair, or pair/straight draw.
