$1+.10, 2TT, Stars. All-in on first hand?
I know that basic stategy is to be tight, but. . . I'm a new player, starting at micro level with $50 bankroll, want to build it up and play at 3% level as I go, i.e, $3+.40 with $100 bank. Three straight 2TTs, two players went all-in on the first hand, and I called. I had AA, AA, and AK, and I busted out all three times to worse hands. Should I put that down to variance and keep going in when I have the goods? Or should I fold the best hand/nuts and let the maniacs fight it out?

[/ QUOTE ] At this blind and buy-in, AK is (oddly enough) an easy laydown on the first hand ... Obviously, unless you are on the bubble and questionable as to making the money in a tourney, you're never laying down AA pre-flop (and even then, it's got to be extremely unique parameters) ... I've played many $1s on my way up (although I'm not much further than $5s and $10s), but if you're a decent player, you can get your chips in in MUCH better situations that level 1 with AK !!! If this a turbo, however, you can make an argument for calling with AK ... But, even at the $10s ($11s), I push AA first hand looking like a nut, and someone always tries to be "sheriff", and I double up first hand ...

It just dawned on me--why would the tournament being a turbo make in difference in whether or not I played AK?

I don't mind all-in with AK first hand at these levels. You'll find a lower A often enough to make it profitable. If you lose, do a new one.

[/ QUOTE ] Because in a turbo, the blinds go up faster, so you have fewer hands to be patient ... Thus, there is more pressure to gamble in a turbo, as it's more of a mathematical game than a regular, which at some point also becomes a purely mathematical game ... In a regular, AK is an easy laydown preflop first hand calling an all in ... In a turbo it all depends on your risk aversion ...

two players went all-in on the first hand, and I called. [/ QUOTE ] AA, don't even consider laying it down. AK two people already all-in, I would lay it down. You don't want to be the 3rd one in without having a made hand.
