Hey
I felt that the tourney had been going well. Was opening a decent amount pre and taking down pots uncontested. My image was was likely a little on the LAG side.
The open is prob a bit marginal, but as mentioned I hadn't been getting too much resistance so far. The BB had stats of about 35/25 over about 40 hands. My impression was that he was the type of player that didn't mind tangling a bit with others (maybe that skews my hand more to a fold pre), but we didn't have any confrontations as yet between us apart from one pot I raised and took down on the flop against him.
On the flop I opt to check along as my hand has a lot of equity but I wouldn't feel great either folding or calling off with it against a check-raise, which i thought was likely with this opponent.
When the turn Ace hits i'm basically happy to go with my TP + SD + baby FD.
thoughts?
