Hi Dave. I understand what you are writing and I agree with you. I absolutely agree with you. You certainly have to amass chips, and Hero has an excellent starting hand.

What to do here would be an easy decision for me in a ring game or a limit game, but a very, very difficult decision for me in a pot-limit tournament. (In a tournament, in addition to amassing chips, you also have to survive - and these two principles are often in opposition).

I read your post before writing mine. I almost didn't post my response because it represented a different point of view than yours and you have much more practical experience playing pot-limit. Ironically, I posted partly because my response represents the other side of the issue.
