AK Early Tourney - Getting away from it.

I did, and the answer was Ace-x. He was big stack early because he played crap cards and got idiots to go all in against him. I saw him show down an ace with a 6 kicker on one hand, and middle pair on another.

His UTG limp further said to me something like Ace-8, Ace-9. It wouldnt make sense that he limped with 76o and called 3xBB more with it OOP. But he did :P

Only thing I was worried about was Ace-6, Ace-7, and by the turn I was thinking about how I was going to get all my chips in.

I think his agression could make me think he hit a set on the flop. You said he was a big stack so I could see him playing pocket pairs, even to a raise.

Personally, I think it would be hard to get away from this hand, though I'm not the best of players.

I think when you go up against lag big stack early, you're stack is always in peril. That said I feel that a larger than average raise say 5-6 bb is more appropriate so if you get a caller before him the price isn't so good. Otherwise he could be inclined to see a flop with 67o. He was willing to limp in the first place why not punish him a little more for the privilege?
