i think you need to raise more preflop (t80-100).

why? dont I *want* action here?

That's pretty awful. This is saying that you are afraid of playing pots postflop.

I isnta-push. All those saying "you won't get called by a worse hand" are way off. TPGK is NOT laying it down in the beginning of a tourney, and there's a lot of draws that will go for it. If I got outflopped or get outdrawn, so be it.

In the beginning, I'm a lot more concerned with getting a stack to work with than surviving into the second hour so I can survive into the third, and so on.

I'd probably toss it. Too early in the tournament to take a risk and hope he has AQ.

That is truly horrible advice, or a minset to have at ANY point in the tourney.

Sure. Raising this much could work. However, it completely reaks of a monster hand. Why make your hands stick out like that? Poker is about folding hands when you think you have the worst of it, and that is a risk you have to take when playing AA and KK.

unless you're a pro who has an opportunity to make big money playing in ring games should you bust out early, I totally disagree.

5bb is the largest I would ever raise with this, and I will rarely ever do that. Saying it is right to raise 100 in this situation is awful.

ok, so 3xbb is standard and perhaps a little more with hands that are weaker?
