Maybe I'm weak tight but I think you gotta muck this, particularly early in the tourney. Pity you couldn't get in there first with the c-bet.

thats a big honkin reraise there.

tell me
wats the differnece between these bet sizes 120 100 80 60 40?

Wats your goal with such a big raise preflop? Are you tyring to build a pot?

**Werddown** · 03-03-2006 03:32 AM

No, this a $5 SnG, and I'm trying to keep 50 donks from calling a 3x preflop raise and seeing the flop with me when I have AK. I think its the consensus that this is the correct thing to do early in the tournament at lower limits.

Was not a re-raise either it was just a raise.

I agree with Werddown, at the first level in the PS $5.50s you gotta be raising 5BB plus 1xBB for each caller in front to avoid four donks coming along for the ride.

Early in the tourney, I'd fold the flop too.

Early levels is when the loose people play so even if you try to rep AA/KK with a reraise here you maybe called and you'll dig yourself a bigger hole that u might not be able to get out of.
