I fold pf and at every street here. I don't think he is dropping his hand if you shove the turn and I don't like a call.

Kevin, FWIW this isn't a turbo. The first call is questionable, but IMO the second preflop call is the perfect spot to play this type of hand (i.e. vs. a raiser getting 4:1 in a multiway pot).

I could be way off but I'm not playing early levels different in a regular STT, though I don't play them whatsoever, I don't see reason to be playing hands like this.

With that said, if pf happens to be ok or standard then I'm still folding the flop and the turn.

kevin8423,
why do you play SO tight at the early levels ( 10/20, 15/30)?

I don't like losing chips early on draws and drawing hands that usually won't gain me anything.

I fold pf. I fold to sb's raise. I fold flop and I fold turn.

I don't know why I play so tight at early levels. Probably because I don't really need to play loose or aggressively with pots so small.
