Default They think you\'re stealing, but you\'re not

Second level of PS $700,000. I've been getting good cards and raising a lot, particularly from LP, so I probably come across as a LAG. I've shown down QJs from EP and KTs from CO, both of which I raised with preflop. Absolutely no read on villain in this hand.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

CO (t3075)
Hero (t3445)
SB (t2340)
BB (t2470)
UTG (t2130)
UTG+1 (t1815)
MP1 (t2720)
MP2 (t2050)
MP3 (t2395)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

fold. What king of hands do you expect to be ahead of here especially with that raise. If an Ace flops, what then?

How is this not a clear cut fold hear. I rarely raise this hand this early in a tournament anyways.

When I read the post title, I expected you to have AA/KK or something. You aren't stealing, but you're not not stealing either, ATs isn't exactly a powerhouse, but its not terrible either. I think I'd call if you think you can outplay the opponent, you still have a pretty big stack, but get ready to fold the flop and be careful about playing it for the ace.

you really need to know what he thinks of you here. thats why these spots are WAY easier live than online. in a bigger tourney like this i would assume that they're paying more attention so i'd say you have to see a flop. you have position, and hopefully you can play better than this unknown after the flop.

Im not joking Its the 2nd level of the tourny this is more of a steal than a raise with a good hand. How many more posssible chips will you pick up from raising this hand this early, 75chips. Maybe im too tight early but if I was in the blinds I wouldnt be protecting with anything under ace queen or pocket 7's and above.
