wow, easy raise every time, punch yourself for even considering a raise was wrong. Punch yourself hard.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

KK - I'm surprised you can get people to fold in a $1 tourney.
Which brings up the interesting hand.
77 - It depends on how tight everyone is playing and how positionally aware they are. Are UTG and UTG+1 raises routinely getting folded around?

You were looking at the results here lucky. It's obvious with a good hand you want to raise to build a pot so that you can win the most possible. Sure, there will be times to get tricky, but not at microstakes. If you had raises and gotten 5 callers and the flop was Axx, would you have said "hmm... Maybe I shouldn't have raised?".. I would hope not, because raising is the right play.
While we think ahead to potential action on later streets, the results aren't a concern of a good player. Yes, it's ideal that you play good and are rewarded with an inflow of alot of money; however, that isn't the issue all the time. You can play good and still lose. This thinking need to continue down to the hand level as well. You can play a hand well and things not go your way and lose. Or play a big hand correct, and not get the action you wanted. You can't let that stop you from making a correct play.
Nice hand. Hope you did well.

Thanks I need to keep reminding myself it's about the process not the results, I used to know that but seem to have forgotten it along the way. Thanks for the reminder.

77 is a raise every time, punch yourself for thinking otherwise. Punch yourself medium-hard.

Raise 77 UTG every time? Even in a $1 tourney where you usually will get called by multiple people with all sorts of crap?

I will cover my comments with 2 statements: One, I was in a cash game mindset. Two, blinds are tiny and we're gonna flop a set!

Raisy Daisy with both hands and dont worry if people fold it happens.
Just like when you get AA in the BB and get a walk - damn that annoys me
