Yes. That early in the tournament shoving with 77 is -ev in the long run. You aren't picking up enough chips to justify risking your tournament life with a small pocket pair.

You can't win a normal mtt in the first hour, let alone the first hand. It's about picking spots and about cards holding up.

GL in the future, Jay

Yes, just a little worse than the guy who raised it to 888

Yes it was a bad raise

Why is he getting respectful replies but if I post a thread with an interesting tricky situation I get crucified?

Not by me, bud.

A lot of haters on here, though.

Are you talking about that 88 hand? I think the tone of the thread made a difference...plus you just called several people on SBR villains so they had you on their hit list

None of you guys can play on Stars, can you?

[Jayvegas420]

I don't think I'm gonna play in the Sunday Storm, I don't like my chances.
