Default Re: $1+.10, 2TT, Stars. All-in on first hand?

It just dawned on me--why would the tournament being a turbo make in difference in whether or not I played AK?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because in a turbo, the blinds go up faster, so you have fewer hands to be patient ... Thus, there is more pressure to gamble in a turbo, as it's more of a mathematical game than a regular, which at some point also becomes a purely mathematical game ... In a regular, AK is an easy laydown preflop first hand calling an all in ... In a turbo it all depends on your risk aversion ...
