i suppose alot of you have noticed the lack of respect people have for online poker for the 1st few hands in a tourny... its always all in all in! doesnt matter what they have, and the funny thing is its usually the worst raggy hand that wins it, my poket AA's got killed b4 by 7 4, he hit his straigh! but that was with 5 other callers. why is it that everyone gos all in with nothing preflop on the 1st few hands. it wrecks the game i think. what do you all think?

play very tight in the beginning of a tournament, because all the idiots are knocked out early.

and if you do have a good hand you'll double up easily

most times I just sit out the first few hands of anu o/l tourney, calling an all in with even a monster pocket pair in the first few hands is pretty much suicide cause people are playing anything, after numerous bad beats I've decided the big pocket pair is not worth it.
