don decisions

[bigstock2001]

I find myself tossed this situaion comes up alot I find myself with AJ off in early position very early in the tourn. From what I have seen and read alotof people will not raise here they will keep the pot small I have found this to make after flop play hard at the ten dollar level this leaves your hand range for villon to be everything. I have found that it is better to raise pre flop and if you miss the flop and are out of oosition just don't continuation bet. This will save your chips and give you the oppertunity to narrow the hand range for villon and give you a better oppertunity tomake a good decision post flop. I keep my early tourn bets to 4 * the bb the only exception to this is utg here I do have a tendency just to call what is the general conception to this stratagy is my thinking correct I am a winning player but not ti the level I want to be at please follow up with any advice you may have thanks[/b]

Definitely fold AJ in a EP in a DON, AQ too. Limping both these hands will land you in a lot of trouble in DON, and raising is too loose for a DON. By default, you should just fold these hands.

Agree totally - don't even blink before folding. Even AK is a decision...

Folding will save you more chips.

Not for me. I'm generally happy getting it in with AK unless we're getting towards the bubble and I'm coasting.
