I usually fold this unless you have a read from previous tourneys that MP3 is a donk.

Uggh. Last tournament this happened hand 1 villain showed AA after everyone folded. However I wouldn't be suprised if the next time this happens with me sittin on AK my money gets in the pot. It should be a fold though as an edge comes from late game play more than trying to double up early.

I know it sounds weird...but I HATE getting hands like AK/AQ/TT/99 etc the first few hands, because there are always those guys pushing random junk. And there are the guys calling down with nothing and sucking out. Once the first few people go and the blinds go up stuff seems to level out a little more and I can usually win through better play.

Id have to fold this. If it was suited I might call about 50% of the time without a read but...its not so, I'd fold.

Bob has about -27% ROI over about 400 16's.


I call here. Even if it is a mistake, it isn't a huge one, and if you lose you can open up another S&amp;G right away. Time=Money
