1st hand of 1st deep stack tourney

[nightlyraver]

This is an easy fold, to say the least. Villian is not moving in with something like KT. Villian has one of three holdings: An A with a better kicker; A flush; A boat. You cannot beat any of these. Villian is not bluffing. Period.

Even if Villian IS bluffing some of the time, he would have to be bluffing very often for you to be getting the odds to pick off his bluff.

I also don't like how you played the hand. Checking the flop was not a good idea. The field is large, so you could be up against a better ace. You don't want to risk giving a free card to someone drawing at a flush. You don't want to risk the flop getting checked around, since you will miss bets. You should have bet a decent amount and if you get called, you must play VERY carefully once the flush card hits on fourth street.

There are some hands where you are supposed to lose your stack - this is not one of them.
