$6.50 - 2 Rocket hands - Thoughts?
In an earlier tourney tonight, my first two hands were aces. Never had that happened before for what its worth. No reads on the players at all. I'm just curious if you like the way I played these, mainly looking for insight. Thanks!

Hand 1: I would not go all in here because I'd like some action. I would not be surprised to have someone call you here, but I think you have a better chance of action bumping it up to 350-400.
Hand 2: Seems ok to me. |

I don't think I'd push all in pre-flop -- I want more of the pre-flop raiser's money. I do want all my chips in the pot, but I'd like someone else's in there with me.
I'd probably raise the pot and then push any flop. |

I like a BIG PF raise on the 2nd hand - folks may be starting to peg you as a lunatic. All-in may be overdoing it, though.
If you were to get another monster on your 3rd or 4th hand, then I'd probably be inclined to push it PF. Now they're sure you're a lunatic. |

Re: $6.50 - 2 Rocket hands - Thoughts?
Thanks for the input everyone.. I was thinking I overbet the pot. My thoughts were as follows..
Basically, since there were some limpers already calling the previous raise from the UTG player, I was concerned about ending up 3-4 handed with Aces, almost pot committed. That said, your advice makes sense, as most likely I would chase almost all but 1 or 2 max. So instead of all-in.. something to the effect of 500-600 reraise then? |

Re: $6.50 - 2 Rocket hands - Thoughts?
I like a slightly bigger flop bet in hand 1. Either someone likes the K or the two clubs or they don't. And if it is the latter you won't get paid. If it is the former I hate giving them a good enough price to catch a flush.
Hand 2. 300 is the magic number for me here. It just feels right raising it to that amount. I am fine with 350-400 also, but it feels slightly excessive. I do want a call afterall. |
