Default Re: Help a tournament newbie out...

The problem with this push is the ONLY hands calling you have you beat. with this many people in the pot lead out half pot and see what happens... if someone calls and somone else reraised or something like that this is an easy fold.

You're forgetting hands like a flush draw with overs, and even something like 77 may look you up hoping you're pushing AK. Can't lead 1/2 pot here, you want to protect your hand. With that kind of bet you're giving 3:1, and after the flop overcards are usually 3:1 to improve.

If you lead 600 here, you have around 500 left. There's no way I'm folding to a re-raise in a pot that would now be around 2K, getting 4:1 with an overpair.
