TOURNEY POKER. Im sure i copied this from somehwere but it makes a bunch of sense. When i watch a lot of TV poker pros tend to play their AK very ****ing aggro. Why? Thats what i thought. Lets consider this. Its early in a tourney, you are short stacked with 20xBB. You have AKo and your up against QQ, you raise pre flop 3xBB and get bumped up to 10xBB, you call putting your opponent on some kind of pair or big ace. Flop comes A K 5. SWEET! You push and your opponent folds. Gutted.
Consider this. Its early in a tourney, you are short stacked with 20xBB. You have AKo and your up against QQ. You: ALL IN. VILLAIN: CALL. Flop comes A K 5 9 10. You double up. Sorted.
So here comes the argument. Try and get it in preflop if you know your not crushed. If you get your chips all in preflop your more likely to get paid off even though its a race. Cos if you slow play and hit against QQ JJ 1010 your most likely not going to get paid off.
Does this make sense, i dunno. This is my first real post. I thinksome of the numbers are wrong but i think you can get my point.
