Hi I was wondering if someone can help me out here. It seems like I am being out played during the pre flop with raises coming from every angle. Now, I KNOW FOR SURE that not everyone is getting MONSTER pockets or crazy pre flop hands.
The tourny I was in was a $160 tourny with rebuys for the 1st level. Only 58 people and I managed to knock out two. I was doing very good and catching a few lucky rivers that kept me in the game. But before you know it the mighty blinds started eating me up because for an entire level and a half I couldn't see a flop due to the fact everyone kept raising 3-5x the blinds pre flop. I was dealth DECENT hands but never anything from my knowledge enough to call. Finally I get dealt pocket 10s, I push all in, last to act, and the everyone folds except the two behind me in which one turns over pocket jacks and I lose.
I was wondering now, what kind of hands can I call with next time if I see the table just won't give a flop without a ridiculous raise. Obviously I would call with Ace and high kicker, or high pockets, and what not but what other hands can be candidates.
