Tournament Players???

I know I asked this question a few months ago, but there has been an increase in people posting here and I took a break for a while to travel the world. So here it is again: Anyone play tourneys?

ALSO:
I have a questionable hand that everyone should be able to look at:
unsupported site. 30/60, 5 ante, 10 BI
Hero: (A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ???????

Is this a tournmanet or a ring game. Tournament depends a lot on stacks compared to levels. Cash game I think this is a call since it looks like the pot will be gifuckingantic and I want in with that hand.

sorry, STT, it's early so roughly equal stacks.

I think it is close, but I lean toward calling here. If you catch and win this pot you will have a boat load of chips and be in a good position to win the whole thing

I fold.

I think it should be a fold in a tournament (and quite possibly in a ring game too) assuming the players aren't completely awful. Of course they probably are. And in the loose crazy stud tourneys I've played in, I might go ahead and decide to gamble, because I'd rather build a big stack or go out soon and go play another one. But I still think the actual best EV move within THIS tourney is to fold.

me too. this is still just a draw. what do you do when you brick 4th? peel one off because the pot is so big and, depending on who has the high hand, get wrapped up in a raising war? Id let them fight it out and hopefully a couple of the other players will be significantly weakened in the tourney. you can always get their chips later on from whoever wins that hand.
