    Raise more PF. 180-210 seems right. If I get a call or two, I shove that flop.

    As played, I just shove the turn.

    Blinds are at 20 and I'm going to raise to 180-210? Uh......that doesn't sound right.

    For some reason I thought blinds were 15/30. 120 is OK. I also bet 410 on the flop. Easier to get all-in on the turn.

    I agree with a bigger raise pre-flop, you need to cut down their implied odds, you already have 2 limpers. early on in a tourney play big or fold, don't mess around trying to win 100 chips, you'll get stacked off too often to make up for the small pots you win.

    if you raise to 200-250 you're giving them about 7 to 1 to call, and can push most flops, so even if they spike a set and stack you off, you will have played it perfectly.
