Playing TT
I was MP, with a full $800 of chips in level 1 of a party $20 SNG.
I was dealt TT. I bet $200. Does that sound right? Thx |

Re: Playing TT
No, limp and try and to flop a set.

Re: Playing TT
Where you first in the pot? If so I might break out a 3BB bet. But generally I'm just limping this. To many ways for TT to go wrong on the flop being so early in the tournament.

Re: Playing TT
I'd say very wrong.
Limp and hope to flop a set. If the pot is raised behind you, fold. While TT looks very good, it is really just a marginal hand at a full table. There are just too many ways for it to lose to risk much of your stack with it early in a tournament. By betting 200 here, one of two things tends to happen. You pick up the blinds... 25 chips, big whoop... or you get called by a better hand or reraised by a better hand. Even if you just get called what do you do on a AQx flop and someone then bets into you? It seems really weak to limp with a hand like TT early in a tournament, but many very successful players advocate this strategy. |

Re: Playing TT
TT is a push when the blinds are worth stealing. Early in the tourny either limp or fold. I personally fold TT in this situation.
