Re: $33 AK early hand, lotta action
I fold but I shade towards weak tight at times. Also some people might argue for going all in which isn't an option in the poll.

Re: $33 AK early hand, lotta action
bleh - no way do I call. Leaning toward fold, but all-in is a close second.

Re: $33 AK early hand, lotta action
I have called this in the past but think it is a leak. In the 10s I will push this from now on I think...

Re: $33 AK early hand, lotta action
i fold this... i think theres a really good chance you're gonna get smoked by KK or AA here w/ all that action... if you're wrong and no one had those... oh well... someone's got some pair... so you're at best a coinflip... and i'm just not willing to put my tourney life on the line for a coinflip on the first hand...

Re: $33 AK early hand, lotta action
I think folding is fine. Your edge here if any should be quite small (this is best case scenario, more often than you think one of these guys will have AA-KK), but your edge by folding and playing the rest of the tournament should be quite decent. |

[/ QUOTE ] Not only this - but it's probably not a fair coinflip. If someone has TT-QQ, there is a good chance at least one or two of your outs is in someone elses hand here, so your flipping a coin hoping for tails, but it's weighted for heads to come up. |

Re: $33 AK early hand, lotta action
I was typing out my reasoning for pushing the hand and talked myself out of it???? Fold.
