    Default Is this play warranted fairly early in the tournament?

    Here I thought the combined chance of him laying down or winning the ensuing race if he called justified an all-in reraise, even though it was still sort of early. Not sure what the best play would be.

    PokerStars Game #2075206606: Tournament #9914250, Hold'em No Limit - Level II (15/30) - 2005/07/10 - 19:35:39 (ET)

    Seat 1: ptper (2330 in chips)
    Seat 2: mexem (110 in chips)

    Wastin' away again in margaritaville....
    did you have some read on the guy that said he didn't have AA/KK?

    I don't like pushing AK early... I prefer to let the numnuts bust eachother out and take the big stacks from them when they are calling down your monsters.

    No fear, go deep or go home!

    I gnerally would need a read to do it and know that i'd be dominating him more than he would be dominating me.

    I like the play if it was a turbo or if the other player is LAG ...otherwise I think u can find a better spot.

    It's push or fold for sure... just a choice for you I think, I'm fine with folding and I'm fine with gambooling for a nice stack, prolly depends on my mood.
