    It's checked around to you? Check obviously if you dont improve fold to a bet on other streets. Thats just the way id do it because of the early stage of tournament. There is no reason to possibly get involved with the blinds at 80/160
  3. in a $5 KO i bet here everytime. people rarely slow play a hand, if anything they will bluff, most likely they dont have anything. 1 of them might call your raise to see the turn, but if he checks again than just throw out another bet and 90% time he folds...if he calls that bet, i either check/call river (depending on the card) or push all in if a card that doesnt improve a straight hits.

    players at this level play their hands face up and are very easily bullied around. unless they are COMPLEETTEEE calling stations you have to bet here, specially because you have position on them and could very easily have the best hand.
  4. people slowplay all the time. but they never fold. check, hit, bet.
