Big balls with AK in a tourney?

[ashmc2]

1. Are you willing to all the way PF with AK at the beginning of a NL tourney?

2. Are you willing to all the way PF with AK, with lets say 30xBB in a NL tourney?

3. Are you willing to all the way PF with AK, with lets say 10xBB in a NL tourney?

4. Sick of my questions yet?

by this im guessing you mean push in preflop.

1, depends on table action, but probably not
2. probably, depending on table action, and reads
3. Hell yes
4. Hell yes

Damn it's obvious that I cut and pasted most of my post. Because otherwise we're talking 3 of the same typos in row. Even I'm not that stupid, but that's IMO. later.

BTW you suck eejit.

I'll address the first question and I'm sure I am wrong (usually am) but if I'm playing in a big event then I will wait for a better spot, if it's my average buy-in within my bankroll then I will push pre-flop with AK if there has been any raise in front of me, in a regular tourney the value of a big stack early is huge IMO.

If there has been no action in front of me then I will raise much more than the standard 3x and be willing to push if I get re-raised.

Hey Ash, did you forget about the blogger tourney today???

[Boobie Lover]

Simple. It depends. Do I get a cookie now?

Yup, it depends. SNG, MTT, freeroll, winner take all tourney, rebuy, how many raises in front of me, blind structure.... I could go on and on.
