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.

I guess I'm too simple TP, because I usually play the same no matter what it costs me to get in a tourney. Except maybe the freeroll, yes I take lots of chances in a freeroll.

I personally won't usually push or call an allin early in a tourney with AK. With 30xBB, no I'm not calling either. But 10xBB, I'm rocking one way or the other. That's my game but hey, who am I to argue with a man of your skills TP. I play the standard 3 to 4xBB rule with it normally. I'm just not willing to put all my chips in with TPTK draw, whether it be SNG or MTT early on. I'm still learning.

Yea Rob, when I signed up I didn't realize that I had to work. Dumb move. I was going to get my Bro to play in my place but I forgot that too. My memory sucks lately.

I've also missed countless TPFLII's lately because of this memory. I think I might have to stay up late tonight. I at least have to try to get back into the TOC before it's over.

Let me give you an example...

Situation #1:
WSOP Main Event. Blinds are 25/50 and you have 10k in your stack. The pot is raised and reraised in front of you, you flat call, the first raiser pushed in and the reraiser calls.

Situation #2:
UB WSOP Freeroll. Winner take all. 850ish players registered. First prize is a WSOP ME seat. 2nd place gets a friendly "Nice try, kid." The players fold around to you on the button, you raise, and the BB pushes in.

Situation #3:
$11 Turbo Single table SNG, 6 max. The players fold around to you on the button, you raise, and the BB pushes in.

Even though you have AK and it's the first hand in all of them, surely you can see how those are NOT the same situation, right?
