You're in the CO with ATs, and make a raise to 3.5BB after one limper. That limper calls with JT. The flop brings you both a ten. That LAG WILL be willing to put a lot of chips in, maybe even all of them, and you can double up.
My idea is this, play very Loose passive preflop, and tight-ultra-agressive post flop. Say you limp in with 68s from the button (Which you should if you get at least a caller, IMO) And flop bottom two. You can more than likely push that hand aggressively and take a lot of chips. BUT if you miss, no big deal, just check fold. The beauty of the beginning of a tourney is that it's so easy to double up early, without much risk. You can pay T30 out of your 1k stack for a chance of doubling up, or better.
Playing TAG in a tourney really makes you depend on good hands preflop, which you aren't gonna get that often, and even if you do, people might not call much of a raise. Playing Loose passive preflop will get some people in the pot, and then you can just proceed forward when you have a good hand.
I like the way kowboy said it. Play it like an omaha tournament; limp with a lot of hands, and only proceed if you get hit big on the flop.Statistics: Posted by Dumb Snowman — Wed May 04, 2005 3:08 pm
