    No reads on villan. I've been pretty quiet this early on. My questions are:

    1. Do I raise more preflop or just call?
    2. Reraised on flop, Now What?

    the players in these tournies are generally very weak...... you have to assume your opponent is brutal... he did just limp call a 4.5x preflop raise from the blinds which is spewey to begin with.... sure he might have a set..... but most players at this level like to slow play sets... i think while he could have a set he can also have a 5... a flush draw... 88-10 10..... A7, A6... as well as some random bluffs sometimes... i think you should stick it in and hope for the best... you have his range crushed imo and will be good the majority of the time

    This is the $5 early double. I think the right move here is a push. He could be on a draw or have an overpair to the board, and he'll make this move. Heck, I've seen people do this with hands like A4.

    If he has you beat, he has you. I would almost chalk it up to a cooler. Either he had a weak hand on you that he had no business playing, and caught huge, or you were losing the whole way, and got an absolutely terrible board, since there is no chance to fold.

    Against good opponents, you might fold. Against $5 players with no read, push all day.
