Villian's raise made me think they didn't know much about tournament poker.

Sounds like you've already decided he's got nothing so push preflop.

just wondering what some opinions might have been if flop had come with only one heart.....as you don't have a read villain could have anything from A-6 to AA right so not sure I'd want to push knowing some guy with Q-5, Q-6 or 5-6 suited is way ahead of me.....I'm probably pretty weak-tight but I think i fold if he pushes - it's early on, I still would have a decent stack and I'm out of position - also, I don't like that 1/2 pot sized bet offering corrrect odds to call for a flush draw (I think)

You've got the nut non-paired hand. Just push it preflop and forget about the rest [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

before I read any replies I think the play sucked. Calling off 800 of your stack to leave you with 140 on the turn on a draw I think is horrible. I maybe Check Raise all in on the Flop if your gonna call down to the river with the hand. I think its too early to push pf so I think you have to call or fold. But I c/r flop or Push pf I think. But Im not a big fan of pushng AK pf this early when I think original raiser will def call.
