Tourney strategy

[The_Gunt]

Yes you're right I didn't chose my words properly thanks for correcting me I appreciate the comments. This should be AA or KK but after that you have a serious drop off. What about AKs? I think I might even call with that but it would be tough. If you look at Aequitas58 blog you will see exactly what I am talking about. First hand people will go all in and they have garbage hands but what if the AQ hits the straight. You went all in on the first hand even with AA/KK and now you are out already. If I am just playing a SNG and it's for some low buy in amount that's fine, hopefully the cards break even over the next couple SNGs. If I have to travel 2 hours to the card club wait 3 hours for the tournament to start and buy in at $200-$400 do I want to go all in on the first hand? AA or KK yeah that is the right call but there is still a chance I will be packing my bags for that 2 hour trip home. With anything else why not wait for the idiots to push all in when you have the nut flush or slow play a FH. Also if you are playing a home game with 45 of your buddies do you want to be the first guy out sitting on the sidelines waiting for the next game to start. I'm sure others have more experience in this situation and I do realize I might be taking into account other outside consideration than just straight up card values.
