NM. Don't really play poker anymore since I started uni. I tried to keep it going at first but grinding and running bad (lol) reduced my ability and motivation to play. Starting to play some donkaments though coz I miss poker, see if I can bink one time :)

As for the hand I shipped and it folded round giving me a nice pot for the first hand, if anyone has another view let me know if not thanks for the replies guys.

Agreed. Ship it, fold equity is good to a board full of limpers (unlikely they will just limp in with big hands so early in the tourney) and there's a lot of valuable big blinds on the table. Moreover, in a donkament worse hands are also likely to call you giving you even more value. Hope you ended up doing well in the rest of the tourney.

Don't play Timed Tournies is probably a better answer.

Just me I'd rather play some hyper S&Gs. Just don't see timed being profitable.

Think about your 3 options;

1: Fold
2: Call
3: Shove

Which one makes the most sense here?

Out of all those options, the most profitable and more importantly best play is going to be shoving everytime.
