Default Re: First hand of my first live tourney and I am crippled please help

The Taj tournaments cost $120 and start with T5000 and 25/50 blinds. If you raised to 300, that was a reasonable raise with 2 limpers.

If a good players limps and then flat calls a raise, you tend to put him on a pair or maybe a suited connector.

This was the first hand, so maybe you didn't get a feel for how the table played. Calling station fishes will limp with high cards or whatever and call any single raise. Sometimes you will see 4 limpers, a raise to 6xBB and all 4 limpers will call. Happens all the time in relatively low buyin MTTs, SNGs, and satellites, online or live. This kind of play is a pretty good indication you are dealing with a fish.

This is far too narrow a range for the first hand of the tournament. You dont know anything about this guy.
Also, seems like you got married to your inital read. It happens to me too, but you have to be able to process the information provided from the post flop play. Betgo's summary seems pretty spot on. That being said, a tough hand. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
