Hey there,
As the title asks I have a general theory request.
When you are very early in a large field (first blind or second blind level) tournament and you see all the ace rags donk shoving pre flop. How do handle good pockets cards like QQ or JJ, heck even KK I guess is susceptible here.
My normal technique is to not lay these hands down but if I do call and they do occasionally spike that ace I'm wiped out. Is this a leak in my game by not laying these cards I know to be ahead but still waiting for a better spot later?
Even if I call and double up, blinds are small, the double up doesn't get me that much further ahead. Is the risk worth the reward at this level?
Is it possible to lay these hands down and is it ever a good idea to do so early in a tournament?
Cheers
