Tourney hand - comments appreciated!
AMRN:
with only 1800 chips in your stack, you knew that when you committed 500 with the opening raise, you were never going to be able to fold later in the hand as you were pot committed..... SO, why not take the lead, give the other players something to think about, and get your chips in first. with a standard raise, as soon as someone calls, and the flop is dealt, you are out of position and having to make a decision for your tourney. Also, by such a small opening raise, you"re giving everyone odds to call with any two cards.
Make it simple - pre flop shove every time in this spot.

Thanks for all the great advice - like I say, still a beginner at tourneys, but looking to learn!

This flop against this player i check call in an attempt to get free cards/control pot, leavin us room to get away if he checks behind which is prolly a Kx/Qx... Ax is more then likely popping back pre.
to me; flop all in is saying "i missed" look me up
He called verrry light so i doubt there"s anything you can do on flop differently to get away from him other then opening with a fold!!!!!

?? 1300 behind 1300 pot 1 caller 6bb left ........ as played shove flop and put them to the decision if they call you have outs...
As you are low 9bb pre-flop either shove or fold is the ideal play, i"ve been known to fold AJ utg purely because i know with 8 opponents behind to get past is a long shot as the odds someone has AK AQ is pretty high it is a 50/50 for me , sometimes i do sometimes i don"t, as my min threshold is 7to8bb playing online and even with the approaching blinds and no antes even going down to 5bb will be ok for me but no less...
