I love how at the begining of the tournament there are always a few guys that have to push(sometimes i am one of them) but usually i stay out of it.. . i raised preflop get two callers one in the BB... he then calls the bet on the flop... which surprised me .. but i put him on a flush draw...the ace scare card comes out .. and he goes all in ... i thought about it for a second then thought well he is likely bluffing and the Ace scares him .. he probably has me on an over pair cause the way i was bettign and that i will fold to the ace bet, but i have the ace and i figured him for a flush draw and if his ace was tat strong why go all in ? so i call and he is on the classic openended straight draw bluff. I take the pot down. and go on to win the torunament... I like getting out to those early leads especially when it is easily handed to me I fell i play the role of the big stack rather well I am not to pushy yet make people pay several times... and constanyl monitor their stacks to ensure that they stay in check and dont ever pose a threat to me ...
