I played next to a higher-buyin tournament player at TurningStone today.

He was about 50 years old and is an experienced high-buyin expert.

He told me his secret was ALWAYS folding the first hand of a new level.

In fact, he stressed that if an opponent went allin with KK and showed him the first hand of a $1K tournament, he would gladly fold AA.

I mean, whats best case scenario? You double up... who cares!

LOL EXPERTS

Some older guy sitting on my left who was telling me how some young kid made a horrible call when he shoved 77 and the young kid called with AK. I said that if the kid folded AK in the situation, it would be like throwing away money, he didnt get it.

He also advocated not playing AA the first hand of each level.
